Question

The correct order of radii is

A. $$N < Be < B$$
B. $${F^ - } < {O^{2 - }} < {N^{3 - }}$$  
C. $$Na < Li < K$$
D. $$F{e^{3 + }} < F{e^{2 + }} < F{e^{4 + }}$$
Answer :   $${F^ - } < {O^{2 - }} < {N^{3 - }}$$
Solution :
Effective nuclear charge (i,e. $$Z/e$$ ratio) decreases from
$${F^ - }$$ to $${N^{3 - }}$$  hence the radii follows the order :
$${F^ - } < {O^{2 - }} < {N^{3 - }}.\,Z/e\,\,{\text{for}}$$      $${F^ - } = \frac{9}{{10}} = 0.9,{\text{for}}\,\,{O^{2 - }} = \frac{8}{{10}} = .8,$$       $${\text{for}}\,\,{N^{3 - }} = \frac{7}{{10}} = 0.7$$
