Which of the following species has the largest ionic radius

A. S2−✅
A. K+
B. CI−
D. Ca2+

🌿First of all Observe that they are Isoelectronic🙂;so the Electron Repulsion Effect is the Same For all.Electron Repel each other on Each She'll,and causes increased Atomic Radius.

🌿Now it's important that u know that Cations have smaller ionic radii than their neutral atoms. In contrast, anions have bigger ionic radii than their corresponding neutral atoms.

🌿Lastly to easily Get your answer,locate the Specie with the Least number of protons ie S2-, as those with Greater number of Protons would attract electrons more and hv Decreased ionic Radius.😋

simple and short is
ionic radius decreases as the atomic number increases
