Detailed Solution

Isoelectronic species contain same no. of electrons with different charges. The size of ion depends on total no. of electrons to proton ratio.

For S-2ion,e/p=18/16=1.125; for Cl-ion,e/p=18/17=1.058For K+ion,e/p=18/19=0.947; for Ca+2 ions,e/p=18/20=0.900

Hence, the decreasing order of radii of ions is

S-2>Cl->K+>Ca+2
