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

Open in App

Solution

(d) F, O, N
The increasing order of the atomic radii of oxygen, fluorine and nitrogen is $f l u o r i n e < o x y g e n < n i t r o g e n$ .

This is because the atomic radius decreases from left to right in a period.
