Answer #1

Atomic radius increases as period number increases.

This is because, an extra shell is getting added is period number is increasing by 1.

O is in period 2.

Si is in period 3.

Ge is in period 4.

I is in period 5.

So,

O would be smallest and I would be largest.

Answer: I > Ge > Si > O
