The correct order of ionic radii of Y3+, La3+, Eu3+ and Lu3+ is (Atomic nos. Y = 39, La = 57, Eu = 63, Lu = 71)

Question

The correct order of ionic radii of Y³⁺, La³⁺, Eu³⁺ and Lu³⁺ is
(Atomic nos. Y = 39, La = 57, Eu = 63, Lu = 71)

Y³⁺ < La³⁺ < Eu³⁺ < Lu³⁺

Y³⁺ < Lu³⁺ < Eu³⁺ < La³⁺

Lu³⁺ < Eu³⁺ < La³⁺ < Y³⁺

La³⁺ < Eu³⁺ < Lu³⁺ < Y³⁺
