Answer:
1) [tex]F^-[/tex]
Explanation:
The ion that has the smallest atomic radius is[tex]F^-[/tex].
This is because fluoride is the most electronegative element, which means that electrons are more attracted to the nucleus.
As the electrons feel a greater attraction this makes them "closer" to the nucleus reducing the atomic radius
