Solution

The size of an ion is determined by its atomic radius, which is the distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron shell.

  1. Al+3: When an atom loses electrons and forms a positive ion, the size decreases. Al+3 means that the aluminum atom has lost three electrons, making it smaller.

  2. F–: When an atom gains electrons and forms a negative ion, the size increases. F– means that the fluorine atom has gained one electron, making it larger.

  3. Na+: Similar to Al+3, Na+ means that the sodium atom has lost one electron, making it smaller.

  4. N3–: Nitrogen has gained three electrons, making it larger.

So, among Al+3, F–, Na+, and N3–, the species with the highest radius is N3– because it has gained the most electrons.
