Among the following which one has the highest cation to anion size ratio?
-
CsI
-
CsF
-
LiF
-
NaF
B.
CsF
The order of size of given cations is
Li+ < Na+ < Cs+
and the order of the size of given anions is
I- > F-
Thus, when the cation is largest and anion is smallest the cation to anion size ratio is maximum. Hence cation to anion size ratio is maximum
