Solution

The order of the magnitude of ionic radii of ions N3−, O2−, and F− is determined by the number of electrons each ion has.

  1. N3- has gained 3 electrons, so it has the largest number of electrons and therefore the largest ionic radius.

  2. O2- has gained 2 electrons, so it has fewer electrons than N3- but more than F-, making its ionic radius smaller than N3- but larger than F-.

  3. F- has gained 1 electron, so it has the smallest number of electrons and therefore the smallest ionic radius.

So, the order of the magnitude of ionic radii from largest to smallest is N3− > O2− > F−.
