1.7 Periodic Trends
A student investigating trends in ionic crystal lattices examines the data below for four isoelectronic ions with the ground-state electron configuration \(1s^2 2s^2 2p^6\).
Which of the following correctly ranks the ions in order of decreasing ionic radius, and provides the best explanation for this trend?
| Ion | Number of protons | Number of electrons |
|---|---|---|
| \(\text{O}^{2-}\) | \(8\) | \(10\) |
| \(\text{F}^-\) | \(9\) | \(10\) |
| \(\text{Na}^+\) | \(11\) | \(10\) |
| \(\text{Mg}^{2+}\) | \(12\) | \(10\) |
