Question:
What do you think happens to atomic radius size of a cation and why? an anion and why?
Answer:
A cation has a smaller radius than its neutral atom because it loses valence electrons. The “new” valence shell is held closer to the nucleus, resulting in a smaller radius for the cation. An anion has a larger radius than the neutral atom because it gains valence electrons.
