For Na + ,   Mg 2 + ,   F - and O 2 - , the correct order of increasing ionic radii is:

For Na+, Mg2+, F- and O2-, the correct order of increasing ionic radii is:
  1. O2-<F-<Na+<Mg2+
  2. Na+<Mg2+<F-<O2- 
  3. Mg2+<Na+<F-<O2- 
  4. Mg2+<O2-< Na+<F-

Solution

Isoelectric series:

Mg2+<Na+<F-<O2-

All have 10 electrons. In the isoelectronic series, the proton/electron ratio decreases, so the size decrease because Zeff increases on decrease proton/electron ratio.
