    Which of the following is correct order of radius?

    A)  \[{{K}^{+}}>C{{a}^{2+}}>S{{c}^{3+}}<T{{i}^{4+}}\]

    B)  \[{{S}^{2-}}>C{{l}^{-}}>Ar<{{K}^{+}}\]

    C)  \[{{O}^{2-}}>{{F}^{-}}>Ne>N{{a}^{+}}>M{{g}^{2+}}\]

    D)  \[N{{a}^{+}}>M{{g}^{2+}}>Ne>A{{l}^{3+}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     The value of radius increases on increasing negative charge while the value of radius decreases on increasing positive charge. Hence, the correct order of radius is as : \[{{O}^{2-}}>{{F}^{-}}>Ne>N{{a}^{+}}>M{{g}^{2+}}\] (For isoelectronic species, radius decreases with increase in atomic number)
