In group of the periodic table, three elements and have ionic radii I pm, pm, pm respectively. Giving a reason, arrange these elements in the order of increasing atomic number in the group.

Solution
The groups extend from top to bottom in a vertical column. The atomic number increases along a group.
The number of shells increases along a group and due to this the size of elements increases.
The element having larger size will have a larger atomic radius and hence large atomic number.
So, the order of increasing atomic number of the elements of group will be:
