Using only the periodic table, predict the most stable ion for (mathrm{Na}, mathrm{Mg}, mathrm{Al}, mathrm{S}, mathrm{Cl}, mathrm{K},

Question:

Using only the periodic table, predict the most stable ion for \(\mathrm{Na}, \mathrm{Mg}, \mathrm{Al}, \mathrm{S}, \mathrm{Cl}, \mathrm{K}, \mathrm{Ca}\), and \(\mathrm{Ga}\). Arrange these from largest to smallest radius and explain why the radius varies as it does. Compare your predictions with Fig. 13.8.
