A.  Order of atomic radii: B' < A' < D' < C'

B. Order of metallic character: B' < A' < D' < C'

C. Size of the element: D' < C' < B' < A'

D. Order of ionic radii: B'+<A'+<D'+<C'+

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:              [2024]

1 B, C and D only  
2 A and B only  
3 A, B and D only  
4 A only  

Ans.

(3) 

Atomic and metallic radii decreases from left to right across a period and increase down the group. The same trend is followed by metallic character.
