Vedclass · Answer

(C) In general,the atomic and ionic radii increase on moving down a group. However,the elements of the second transition series $(Zr, Nb, Mo, \dots)$ have almost the same radii as the elements of the third transition series $(Hf, Ta, W, \dots)$. This phenomenon is due to lanthanoid contraction,which arises from the imperfect shielding of one $4f$ electron by another,leading to a smaller increase in size than expected when moving from the $4d$ to the $5d$ series. Therefore,$Zr^{4+}$ and $Hf^{4+}$ have nearly identical ionic radii.
