Vedclass · Answer

(B) All the given ions are isoelectronic,meaning they all have $18$ electrons ($Na^{+}$ has $10$ electrons,so let us compare the isoelectronic series $S^{2-}, Cl^{-}, K^{+}, Ca^{2+}$). For isoelectronic species,the ionic radius decreases as the nuclear charge (atomic number) increases. Atomic numbers are: $S$ $(16)$,$Cl$ $(17)$,$Na$ $(11)$,$F$ $(9)$. $S^{2-}$ has the lowest nuclear charge $(Z = 16)$ among the given options $S^{2-}$ and $Cl^{-}$,therefore it has the largest ionic radius.
