4 F-

veena Vasandani · Accepted Answer

S2- is the largest in size
S2- and Cl- have an extra shell than the
other two and thus the two largest ions of the four
S2- and Cl- are isoelectronic and
contain 16 and 17 protons respectively
In isoeletronic species, the larger ion is one with the less number
of protons
