Which of the following arrangements does not represent the correct order of the property stated against it?

  1. A
    : ionic size
  2. B
    : stability in aqueous solution
  3. C
    : number of oxidation states
  4. D
    : paramagnetic behaviour

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Evaluation:Ionic size: Across a period, as atomic number increases, ionic size decreases. So is correct.Stability in aqueous solution depends on hydration energy. High hydration energy leads to higher stability. is actually the least stable among these due to having the lowest hydration enthalpy.Oxidation states: , , , . Order is correct.Paramagnetic behaviour depends on unpaired electrons: , , , . The order is incorrect.
