Answer:

B < Na < Al < K

The size of elements in the periodic table increases from right to left and top to bottom down the group.

For the given question, we will arrange the elements based on atomic size.

For the given elements

• Aluminum has an atomic number of 13

,

• Boron has an atomic number of 5

,

• Potassium has an atomic number of 19
