Detailed Solution

Nuclear charge has an effect on the sizes of the isoelectronic species F-Ne, and Na+(Z). The attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons will be stronger the higher the nuclear charge, and the ionic size will be smaller. As a result, F- has the largest ionic size while Na+ has the smallest.
