Question
The correct increasing order of the atomic radii of the elements oxygen, fluorine and nitrogen is:
(a) O, F, N
(b) N, F, O
(c) O, N, F
(d) F, O, N
Solution
(d) F, O, N
The increasing order of the atomic radii of oxygen, fluorine and nitrogen is fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen. This is because the atomic radius decreases from left to right in a period.
