Na+ will be the smallest among them.

Explanation:

  • An ion is an atom or molecule that has an unusual number of electrons and protons. They bear an electrical charge.
  • The structure of ionic compounds <br> will form the larger atomic or ion lattice and the smaller atoms/ions will occupy voids.
  • As per the question, Na+ will be the smallest as it loses an electron leading to a reduction in its charge while the others gain electrons(N3- gains 3 electrons, O2- gains 2 electrons, and F- gains one electron).
