Question:

The pair that has similar atomic radii is :

  1. $\mathrm{Mn}$ and $\mathrm{Re}$

  2. Ti and Hf

  3. $\mathrm{Sc}$ and $\mathrm{Ni}$

  4.  Mo and W


Correct Option: , 4

Solution:

Mo and W belong to group-6 and period 5 (4d series) and $6(5 d$ series) respectively.

Due to lanthanoid contraction, radius of Mo and W are almost same i.e. $0.140 \mathrm{~nm}$ and $0.141 \mathrm{~nm}$ respectively.
