The metallic radius of sodium is

1.86\,\,\mathop \mathrm{A}\limits^\mathrm{o} ,

where as its cation radius from its vapour state is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

1.54\,\,\mathop \mathrm{A}\limits^\mathrm{o}

Option C (

1.54 \,\,\mathop \mathrm{A}\limits^\mathrm{o}

) is correct because a cation is formed by the loss of electrons, resulting in a smaller ionic radius compared to the metallic radius of the neutral atom.
