The element expected to form largest ion to achieve the nearest noble gas configuration is

A

(1) O

B

(2) F

C

(3) N

D

(4) Na

Step-by-Step Solution

The ions formed are N3N^{3-}, O2O^{2-}, FF^-, and Na+Na^+. All are isoelectronic with Neon (1010 electrons). For isoelectronic species, the ionic radius increases as the nuclear charge (atomic number) decreases. Nitrogen has the lowest atomic number (Z=7Z=7), so N3N^{3-} is the largest.
