(a)
Interpretation:
The following atoms and ions should be placed in order of decreasing size.
Concept Introduction:
The distribution of electrons in atom into orbitals is said to be electronic configuration. The electronic configuration for every element present in the periodic table is unique or different.
The outermost electrons in an atom are known as valence electrons. The size of atoms or ions depends on the attraction between nucleus and valence electrons. When the electron(s) is(are) removed from an atom results in the formation of cation and increase in nuclear charge attraction. When the electron(s) is(are) added in an atom results in the formation of anion and decrease in nuclear charge.
Now, if the nuclear charge of an atom or ion is lower then, the size of atom or ion is large, if whereas the nuclear charge of an atom or ion is greater then, the size of atom or ion is small.

Answer to Problem 29E
The order of decreasing size is
Explanation of Solution
Anions are formed when a neutral atom or element gain electron(s) whereas cations are formed when a neutral atom or element lose electron(s).
The given atoms and ions are:
Now, according to the rules, when positive charge on atom increases then, the nuclear attraction on valence electrons also increases and this results in decrease in size.
Hence, size of cation is smaller than the size of neutral atom as removal of electrons occurs.
Thus, the order of decreasing size is
