3.3 Atomic and Ionic Radii
  • In $3d$ Series atomic radii decreases from $Sc$ to $Cr$ then they are constant upto copper and then increases.

  • Due to addition of electrons in penultimate $d$-subshell effective nuclear charge increases and atomic radii are constant.

  • Increase in nuclear charge and screening effect balance each other and atomic radii are constant.

  • At the end of series number of paired electrons in d-orbital increases the repulsive interaction between them and leads to the expansion of atoms.

  • Ionic Radii decreases with increase in the oxidation state.

  • A particular oxidation state of their ionic radii decreases with increase in nuclear charge in a given transition series.

  • The ionic radii of $+2$ oxidation state decreases from $T{i^{ + 2}}$ to $C{a^{ + 2}}$.
