The more + the charge, the smaller the ionic radius. Remember that - means adding electrons. These electrons go in the outermost shells. Also, when an atom loses electrons, it clings ever more tightly to the ones it has left, further reducing the ionic radius. therefore the order of ionic radii will be:
Li+3<Mg2+<Na+
