19its false.....actually, F is greater in size than Ne ...not F-...
F- has has greater size than Ne
True/false
I think its true but my book says Ne

1If F has greater size than Ne then we know F- has greater size than F so F- is greater than Ne so it should be true,the statement??
1bt we always take size of noble gas atoms greater than other members of the period
11hey these are isoelectronic species..for this there is a golden rule---
z increases,,,size decreases...
another size series is --
N3- > O2- > F- > Na+ > Mg2+ > Al3+
I think ans given in the book is wrong..ur reasoning in post 3 is also right.
1ya i agree vid ronald..............................noble gas size is gr88 er than F not F-
23F- has to be bigger in size than F and thus Ne ...
bcz of the repulsion of the electrons ...
for eg: H- is very very big than H, and my prof even claimed that H- is almost the size of an Iodine atom ..... is it really ..or was he just being hyper
19what is "typo" ? anyways, i a bit wrong here....actually i was confused between the relative sizes of cations and anions ! .....
1Its simple guys! F- and Ne are isoelectronic. now the effective nuclear charge in F- is less than that in Ne(as the number of protons in F- is less than that in Ne),thus obviously implying that F- would have a greater size than Ne.
