Given two statements below :
Statement I : In molecule the covalent radius is double of the atomic radius of chlorine.
Statement II : Radius of anionic species is always greater than their parent atomic radius.
Choose the most appropriate answer from options given below :
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Size of anion is always greater than Size of parent atom as Zeff decreases.
Covalent Radii is little less than the atomic Radii of because while formation of covalent bond atoms overlap hence interatomic distances decreases in a covalent bond.
Hence, the correct answer is Option(4).
