The ionic radii of O2–, F, Na+ and Mg2+ are in the order :

(1) O2– > F > Na+ > Mg2+

(2) F > O2– > Na+ > Mg2+

(3) O2– > F > Mg2+ > Na+

(4) Mg2+ > Na+ > F > O2–

(1) O2– > F > Na+ > Mg2+

Explanation:

             O2–  F  Na+  Mg2+

Z           8     9    11    12

No. of e 10  10  10     10

In isoelectronic species greater is Z smaller is radius so order is O2– > F > Na+ > Mg2+.
