(consider only atomic number)

Open in App
Solution

The atomic number of Li is 3 whereas that of Na is 11. The effective nuclear charge of sodium is higher so its atomic radius should be small. But a new shell is added for sodium. Hence, its atomic radius is large.
Hence, the correct answer is 11.
