    Correct order of radii is

    A) \[N<Be<B\]

    B)  \[{{F}^{-}}<{{O}^{2-}}<{{N}^{3-}}\]

    C)  \[Na<Li<K\]

    D)  \[F{{e}^{3+}}<F{{e}^{2+}}<F{{e}^{4+}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[{{F}^{-}},{{O}^{2-}}\]and\[{{N}^{3-}}\]are isoelectronic species. They have 8 electrons. The size of isoelectronic species decreases with increasing nuclear charge. Hence, the order of radii is \[{{F}^{-}}<{{O}^{2-}}<{{N}^{3-}}\]
