    Part A:

    Order: K
    Part B:

    Order: O
    Part C:

    Order:CL
    Part D:

    Order:Mg
    Explanation:

    Atomic Size:

    It is the distance from the center to atom to the valance shell electron. It is very difficult to measure the atomic size because there is definite boundary of atom.

    Trend:

    Moving from top to bottom in a group, Atomic Size increases.

    Moving from left to right in a period, Atomic size generally decreases.

    On the basis of above trend we will solve our question:

    Part A:

    All elements belong to Group 1:

    Moving from top to bottom in a group, Atomic Size increases.

    Order: K
    Part B:

    All elements belong to 2nd Period:

    Moving from left to right in a period, Atomic size generally decreases.

    Order: O
    Part C:

    S belongs to 3rd Period, K, Cl belong to 4th period

    Order:CL
    Part D:

    Mg is above Ca in group 2 and K is before Ca in 4th period

    From trends described above:

    Order:Mg
