    Question

    What is the correct order of increasing atomic radii for

    the elements nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), fluorine (F), and carbon (C)?
    A C < N < O < F Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B O < N < C < F Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C F < O < N < C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D N < C < O < F Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    As we move across a period from left to right on the periodic table, the atomic radius decreases due to increasing nuclear charge. Therefore, Carbon (C) has the largest atomic radius, followed by Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), and Fluorine (F), which has the smallest atomic radius.
