Slater's rules are applied to the single valence electron of the alkali metals Li, Na, K and Rb. Which statements are correct?

  1. AThe of Li is 1.30.
  2. BThe of Li is greater than that of Na.
  3. CThe of Rb is 3.70.
  4. DThe values of Na and K are equal.

Answer: A, D

Li: , . Na: , . K: , . Rb: , . So Na, K and Rb are equal, and Li is the lowest.
