K+(0.133) & O2-(0.140) Hence K+

Ba2+(0.135) & I-(0.216) Hence Ba2+

Al3+(0.050) & P3-(0.212) Hence Al3+

K+(0.133) & Cs+(0.169) Hence K+

Fe2+(0.076) & Fe3+(0.064) Hence Fe3+

F-(0.136) & S2-(0.184) Hence F-.

The figures are in nanometres).

You are actually looking at ionic radii. Since they are charged particles, they are ions.

Heres a helpful table I used when doing ionic radii.

It has the ionic radius of the elements :)
Good luck!
