**Question:** Write the following from largest to smallest size. (Use periodic trends.)(a) Ca, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺**Description:**This exercise requires an understanding of periodic trends and the size of atoms and ions. You are asked to compare the size of calcium (Ca), magnesium ion (Mg²⁺), and calcium ion (Ca²⁺).**Explanation:**- **Calcium (Ca):** A neutral atom with a complete set of electrons in its outermost shell.- **Magnesium ion (Mg²⁺):** A magnesium atom that has lost two electrons, resulting in a smaller ionic radius due to the reduced electron-electron repulsion.- **Calcium ion (Ca²⁺):** A calcium atom that has also lost two electrons, leading to a smaller size compared to the neutral calcium atom.**Tips:**When comparing sizes, remember:- Neutral atoms are larger than their cations.- Among cations, the ion with fewer protons but the same electron configuration is larger.Use these principles to order the given atoms/ions from largest to smallest. **Transcription for Educational Website**---**Chemical Ions Illustration (b)***Ion List:*- Calcium ion: \( \text{Ca}^{2+} \)- Sulfide ion: \( \text{S}^{2-} \)- Potassium ion: \( \text{K}^+ \)- Chloride ion: \( \text{Cl}^- \)---**Interactive Tool: chemPad**The chemPad interface includes several features to facilitate chemical notation input:1. **X\(_0\)**: Button for entering subscript.2. **X\(^n\)**: Button for entering superscript.3. **\(\rightarrow\)**: Button for forward reactions.4. **\(\leftrightarrow\)**: Button for reversible reactions.5. **\(\leftarrow\)**: Button for backward reactions.6. **Greek Dropdown**: A menu for selecting Greek letters.Below these buttons is an input field where chemical symbols and reactions can be typed and formatted.A "Help" button is available for additional guidance on using chemPad.---
