Correct answer: D

  1. Identify the element with the least atomic radius among Li, Na, Be, Mg, B, Al\text{Li, Na, Be, Mg, B, Al}Li, Na, Be, Mg, B, Al.

    Atomic radius generally:

    • decreases across a period from left to right,
    • increases down a group.

    Now compare the given elements:

    • Period 2: Li, Be, B\text{Li, Be, B}Li, Be, B
    • Period 3: Na, Mg, Al\text{Na, Mg, Al}Na, Mg, Al

    Since atomic radius decreases across a period, in period 2: Li>Be>B\text{Li} > \text{Be} > \text{B}Li>Be>B and in period 3: Na>Mg>Al\text{Na} > \text{Mg} > \text{Al}Na>Mg>Al

    Also, period 2 elements are generally smaller than corresponding period 3 elements.

    Therefore, the smallest atomic radius among all given elements is for: B\boxed{\text{B}}B​

  2. Find the oxide formed by boron.

    Boron commonly forms the oxide: B2O3\text{B}_2\text{O}_3B2​O3​

    This matches the general formula: A2O3\boxed{A_2O_3}A2​O3​​

  3. Match with the options:

    • A: AOAOAO
    • B: AO2AO_2AO2​
    • C: A2OA_2OA2​O
    • D: A2O3A_2O_3A2​O3​

    Hence the correct option is: D\boxed{\text{D}}D​
