multivalent elements
« on: November 13, 2012, 08:59:56 PM »
Why is the radius of Fe3+ smaller than the radius of
Fe2+? Would you expect, as a general rule, that the more highly
charged ions of a multivalent element would have smaller radii than the
ions of lower charge? Why?

Hi all, i have answered the first part of this question, but the second part is a bit confusing.

All help needed.

Thank you
