MCQ
The radii of $F, F^-, O$ and $O^{2-}$ are in the order of :-
  • $O^{2-} > F^-> O > F$
  • B
    $O^{2-} > F^-> F > O$
  • C
    $F^-> O^{2-} > F > O$
  • D
    $O^{2-} > O > F^-> F$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$O^{2-} > F^-> O > F$
a
As we move along a row, radius decreases and as we move down the group, radius increases.

As a particular atom gains an electron, size increases due to inter-electronic repulsions. So, order is $O^{-}>F^{-}$

Thus, $O^{2-}>O^{-}>F^{-}>F$

Hence, option A is correct.
