    The radii of \[F,{{F}^{-}},O\] and \[{{O}^{-2}}\] are in the order of

    A)  \[{{O}^{2-}}>O>{{F}^{-}}>F\]

    B)  \[{{F}^{-}}>{{O}^{2-}}>F>O\]

    C)  \[{{O}^{2-}}>{{F}^{-}}>F>O\]

    D)  \[{{O}^{2-}}>{{F}^{-}}>O>F\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    We know that anion is always larger than the corresponding atom therefore \[{{F}^{-}}>F\] and \[{{O}^{2-}}>O.\] Also, in a period, size of the atom decreases from left to right due to greater force of attraction exerted correct order is: \[{{o}^{2-}}>{{F}^{-}}>O>F\]
