The fluoride ion (F-) is smaller in size than the oxide ion (O2-).
The ion with a smaller size is F- (fluoride ion) compared to O2- (oxide ion).
The size of an ion depends on the number of protons and electrons it has. Fluoride ion has one less electron than the oxide ion, making it smaller in size.
This trend can be explained by the concept of effective nuclear charge, where the positive charge of the nucleus is partially shielded by other electrons in the atom. As the atomic number increases from oxygen to fluorine, the increase in nuclear charge outweighs the additional electron-electron repulsions, resulting in a smaller size for fluoride ion.

The correct answer is D, 2.8 M.
(2) The atom absorbs energy, and one or more electrons move to a lower electron shell.
(3) The atom releases energy, and one or more electrons move to a higher electron shell.
(4) The atom releases energy, and one or more electrons move to a lower electron shell.
1) The atom absorbs energy, and one or more electrons move to a higher electron shell.
So all the statements except 1) are false.
