Use ionic potential charge/radius with radii , , , , and . Which statements are correct?

  1. A
  2. B lies between and
  3. C
  4. D is more than twice

Answer: A, B, D

Values in charge per pm: Al 0.0556, Be 0.0444, Mg 0.0278, Li 0.0132, Na 0.0098, K 0.0072. So Al exceeds Be, and Li lies between Na and Mg. is smaller than , so statement 3 is false. The ratio Mg/Li is 2.11, which is more than .
