The atomic radius is the distance from the atomic neucleus to the outermost stable electron of a neutral atom.
The ionic radius is half the distance between two gas atoms that are just touching each other.
Ans is N3
Both belongs to the same period (2).
The size of these ions decreases with increase in atomic number or decreases moving from left to right.
