The ionic radii of F⁻ and O²⁻ respectively are 1.33 Å and 1.4 Å, while the covalent radius of N is 0.74 Å.
The correct statement for the ionic radius of N³⁻ from the following is:

Option 1 - <p>It is smaller than O²⁻ and F⁻, but bigger than of N</p>
Option 2 - <p>It is bigger than F⁻ and N, but smaller than of O²⁻<br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]--></p>
Option 3 - <p>It is smaller than F⁻ and N</p>
Option 4 - <p>It is bigger than O²⁻ and F⁻</p>
