IntermediateMCQConceptual17.9k
A student investigating trends in ionic crystal lattices examines the data below for four isoelectronic ions with the ground-state electron configuration \(1s^2 2s^2 2p^6\).

IonNumber of protonsNumber of electrons
\(\text{O}^{2-}\)\(8\)\(10\)
\(\text{F}^-\)\(9\)\(10\)
\(\text{Na}^+\)\(11\)\(10\)
\(\text{Mg}^{2+}\)\(12\)\(10\)

Which of the following correctly ranks the ions in order of decreasing ionic radius, and provides the best explanation for this trend?
