Flourine
Chlorine.
Chlorine will have the smallest atomic radius, bromine the largest.
Fluorine has more electrons in it's outer most shell, so it is more compact and attracted to the nucleus more. For more information on it, look up atomic radius trends in Google.

Flourine
Smaller
Chlorine.
bromine
Bromine is farther down the group and has more electron shells, making it an element with a lager atomic radius.
Magnesium isn't smaller than chlorine, it's larger. The atomic radius for magnesium is 145 pm and the atomic radius for chlorine is 79 pm. Both magnesium and chlorine are in the third period of the periodic table. The trend for atomic radius is that the elements generally get smaller as you move from left to right across the table in the same period.
Chlorine will have the smallest atomic radius, bromine the largest.
Fluorine because it has a smaller atomic radius.
Potassium has the largest atomic radius. It is in the 1st group of the periodic table. Fluorine has the least atomic radius.
