Which one between Cl and `Cl^(-) ` would have more size ? Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(1 ) The electroic configuration in chloride is `1S^(2) 2s^(2) 2p^(2) 3S^(2) 3p^(5 ) 3p^(5) ` and the electronic configuration of chloride `(cl^(-))` ion is `1s^(2) 2s^(2)2p^(6) 3s^(2) 3p^(6)`.
(2) Both chlorine and chloride ions have 17 protons each but there are 17 electrons in chlorine atom . whereas 18 electrons in chloride ion .
(3 ) Therefore, the nuclear attraction is less in `Cl^(-) ` ion when compared with chlorine atom
(4 ) therefore the size of the chloride (cl ) atom is less than size chlorine of `Cl^(-)` ion .
