Use the following rule set. Slater's rules: write the configuration in groups For an electron in an or group, every other electron in the same group contributes ( for the group), every electron in the shell contributes , every electron in the or lower shells contributes , and electrons in groups to the right contribute . For an electron in an or group, every other electron in the same group contributes , every electron in all groups to its left contributes , and groups to the right contribute . . For isoelectronic species with the same , the radius is taken to vary as . Both and are . The predicted ratio is:

  1. A1.86
  2. B3.11
  3. C0.32
  4. D2.87

Answer: B

Both have for a electron. and . Since , the ratio is .
