Periodicity of atomic radius and ionic radius in period -

In a period from left to right the effective nuclear charge increases because the next electron fills in the same shell. So the atomic size decrease.

- wherein

Li>Be>B>C>N>O>F

 

 

 

Electronegativity and atomic radius -

The attraction between the outer electrons and the nucleus increases as the atomic radius decreases in a period.

- wherein

Electronegativity\propto\frac{1}{atomic\:radius}

 

 

 

Size of atom and ion in a group -

In a group moving from top to the bottom the number of shell increases.So the atomic size increases.

- wherein

Li<Na<K<Rb<Cs

As we know that

From Left to right in a period size decreases and when going down the group size increases

C< S< Al< Cs

Therefore, Option(2) is correct
