Positive ions, which are smaller than the atoms of the same element, are created when an element loses an electron. As a result, these ions' ionic radius is less than their atomic radius. Since neon is stable, it won't gain or lose electrons. With each having a greater ionic radius than atomic radius, N and S will tend to acquire electrons.
Answer is sodium.
