Answer:

Mg > Al > P > Cl > Ar

Step-by-step explanation:

Mg / P / Cl / Al / Ar

The tendency of atomic radia is that the higher the period, the higher the radius; and that the higher the group, the smaller the radius.

  • Mg is the furthest left and down between the options, so that's the largest one.
  • Just right of Mg there's Al, so that's the next one.
  • Going by the tendency, the next ones should be P and Cl.
  • Ar is the furthest right, so that's the smallest one.
