By loss or gain of electrons by an atom the atomic radius is changed.

Be+2(He)1st periods 

Na+,Mg+2(Ne)2nd periods

Cl-,S-2(Ar)3rd periods

Br-(Br)4th periods

In isoelectronic species, for cations if nuclear charge (+ve) increases and then size decreases, for anions if  the negative charge (-Ve) increases and then size increases.  The size of ions increasing order in different periods as per their electronic configuration is shown below

Br->S-2>Cl>Na+>Mg+2>Be+2
