Between nitrogen, phosphorus and arsenic we need to indicate which element has the smallest atomic size. The size of an atom increases going from top to bottom in a group, and it decreases going from left to right in a period. All these elements are in group 5. Nitrogen is in the second period, phosphorus is in the third period and arsenic is in the fourth period. Therefore the element with the smallest atomic size is nitrogen (N).
