Atomic radii of Ti, Zr and Hf vary

  • Ti>Zr> Hf

  • Ti<Zr< Hf

  • Ti< Hf<Zr

  • Ti<Zr=HF


D.

Ti<Zr=HF

Ti, Zr and Hf belong to IV B group of Periodic Table and in a group atomic radii increases on moving down. However, the transition metals of 4d-series have nearly the same radii as metals of Sd-series.
Hence, the order of atomic radii is

         Ti < Zr = Hf

Due to nearly equal atomic radii, Zr and Hf are called chemical twins.
