O²⁻ ion has the smallest radius
<h3>Further explanation </h3>In an atom there are levels of energy in the shell and sub shell.
This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.
Writing electron configurations starts from the lowest to the highest sub-shell energy level. There are 4 sub-shells in the shell of an atom, namely s, p, d and f. The maximum number of electrons for each sub shell is
Charging electrons in the sub shell uses the following sequence:
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.
Each sub-shell also has an orbital shown in the form of a square in which there are electrons symbolized by half arrows
The atomic radius shows the distance of the atomic nucleus to the electrons in the outer shell
From left to right in the period system the atomic radius gets smaller, while from one group from top to bottom the atomic radius gets longer
The more the number of shells the atom has, the radius of the atom getting longer, but if the number of shells is the same, the larger atomic number has shorter radius because the core charge is greater so that the attraction of the nucleus to the electrons is stronger
In the ions
(1) O²⁻
(2) S²⁻
(3) Se²⁻
(4) Te²⁻
All of these ions are ions from the elements of the VIA group in the periodic system. This group consists of oxygen (O), sulfur (S), selenium (Se), tellurium (Te), and polonium (Po).
The periodic system is arranged in the order of atomic numbers, whereas in this VIA group from top to bottom, the atomic number gets bigger
Atomic Number: 8
Electron configuration: 1s² 2s² 2s⁴ (number of shells 2)
Atomic Number: 16
Electron configuration: [Ne] 3s² 3p⁴ (number of shells 3)
Atomic Number: 34
Electron configuration: [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s²4p⁴ (number of shells 4)
Atomic Number: 52
Electron configuration: [Cr] 4d10 5s² 5p⁴ (number of shells 5)
From the configuration of the electron shows that the lower the shell owned by the elements of the VIA group the greater (from 2 to 5) so that the radius is also getting longer/bigger
Because what is being asked is the radius of the ion, the electron configuration of each element is equally reduced by 2 electrons, but the number of shells remains the same
(1)O²⁻
Electron configuration: 1s² 2s² 2s²
(2) S²⁻
Electron configuration: [Ne] 3s² 3p²
(3) Se²⁻
Electron configuration: [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s²4p²
(4) Te²⁻
Electron configuration: [Cr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p²
Because the amount of shell from the Oxygen ion is the smallest, the radius of the O²⁻ is also the smallest

Answer:
Explanation:
The main thing for this equation is to follow the amount on each side. Count each element on each side. Then by looking at the numbers figure out what numerical digit would make them equal.
For example:
On the left we have
Cu=1 and Cl=2.
But on the right we have
Cu=1 and Cl=3.
In order for them to be the same, we must add a coefficient of 3 to CuCl2 (aq0 on the left and a coefficient of 3 to Cu(s) on the right.
