Instead of "memorizing" trends in periodic properties (atomic size, ionization energy, electron affinity), you will gain more insight by understanding how these trends evolve because of differences in effective nuclear charge, \boldsymbol{ Z_{eff} }.
Consider the three species \text{Na}^+, \text{Mg}^{2+}, and \text{F}^-. Write their electron configurations. You will see that they all have the same number of electrons; that is, they are isoelectronic.
