For Na + , Mg 2 + , F - and O 2 - , the correct order of increasing ionic radii is:
Options
- AO 2 - < F - < Na + < Mg 2 +
- BNa + < Mg 2 + < F - < O 2 -  
- CMg 2 + < Na + < F - < O 2 -  
- DMg 2 + < O 2 - <   Na + < F -
Correct answer
C. Mg 2 + < Na + < F - < O 2 -  
Step-by-step solution
Isoelectric series: Mg 2 + < Na + < F - < O 2 - All have 10 electrons. In the isoelectronic series, the proton/electron ratio decreases, so the size decrease because Z eff increases on decrease proton/electron ratio.
