The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct order of atomic radii, we will analyze the given options step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first option (N, Be, B) - **Elements**: Nitrogen (N), Beryllium (Be), Boron (B) - **Period**: All three elements are in the same period (Period 2). - **Trend**: Atomic radius decreases from left to right across a period due to increasing nuclear charge. - **Conclusion**: The order should be Be > B > N. Therefore, this option is incorrect. ### Step 2: Analyze the second option (F, O, N) - **Species**: F, O, N are isoelectronic species (F^-, O^2-, N^3-). - **Electrons**: All have 10 electrons. - **Trend**: As the negative charge increases, the size of the anion increases due to electron-electron repulsion. - **Conclusion**: The order should be N^3- > O^2- > F^- (largest to smallest). Therefore, this option is correct. ### Step 3: Analyze the third option (Na, Li, K) - **Elements**: Sodium (Na), Lithium (Li), Potassium (K) - **Group**: All three elements are in the same group (Group 1). - **Trend**: Atomic radius increases down a group due to the addition of electron shells. - **Conclusion**: The correct order should be Li < Na < K (smallest to largest). Therefore, this option is incorrect. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth option (Fe^3+, Fe^2+, Fe^4+) - **Ions**: Fe^3+, Fe^2+, Fe^4+ - **Trend**: For the same element, as the positive charge increases, the size decreases due to greater nuclear attraction on the remaining electrons. - **Conclusion**: The correct order should be Fe^4+ < Fe^3+ < Fe^2+ (smallest to largest). Therefore, this option is incorrect. ### Final Conclusion The only correct order of radii is from the second option: F, O, N (isoelectronic species) with the order being N^3- > O^2- > F^-.
