Question
**Question:**

Which of the following series of isoelectronic ions (Mg²⁺, N³⁻, F⁻, Si⁴⁺) has the ionic radii in order of largest to smallest?

**Options:**

A) Mg²⁺ > N³⁻ > F⁻ > Si⁴⁺

B) Mg²⁺ > Si⁴⁺ > F⁻ > N³⁻

C) N³⁻ > F⁻ > Si⁴⁺ > Mg²⁺

D) N³⁻ > F⁻ > Mg²⁺ > Si⁴⁺

E) F⁻ > N³⁻ > Si⁴⁺ > Mg²⁺

**Explanations for Options:**

- **Option A** proposes that Mg²⁺ has the largest ionic radius, followed by N³⁻, F⁻, and Si⁴⁺ having the smallest.
  
- **Option B** orders Mg²⁺ as the largest, followed by Si⁴⁺, F⁻, and N³⁻ as the smallest.
  
- **Option C** suggests that N³⁻ has the largest ionic radius, with F⁻, Si⁴⁺, and Mg²⁺ decreasing in size respectively.
  
- **Option D** sequences N³⁻ as the largest, then F⁻, Mg²⁺, and Si⁴⁺ smallest.
  
- **Option E** presents F⁻ as having the largest radius, followed by N³⁻, Si⁴⁺, and Mg²⁺ being the smallest.
