    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 forces of attraction. Hence, correct order is: \[{{O}^{2-}}>{{F}^{-}}>O>F\]
