Detailed Solution

The atomic radii of the oxygen-family elements are smaller than those of the comparable nitrogen-family elements.
From group 15 to group 16, the effective nuclear charge rises. In group 16 elements compared to group 15 elements, this causes a stronger nuclear pull on the electrons.
So, while the statement-1 is true, the statement-2 is false.
