Why is anion larger than its parent atom ?

Why is Na^(+) cation smaller than the parent atom Na ?

Assertion: Radius of the ion is always smaller than the parent atom. Reason: Ion is formed by the loss or gain of electrons by the parent atom.

Explain why cations are smaller and anions larger in radii than their parent atoms?

Explain why cations are smaller and anions larger in radii than their parent atoms?

Give reasons why? The size of cation is smaller than the size of parent atom.

Consider the following statements : (I) The radius of an anion is larger than that of the parent atom (II) The ionization energy generally increases with increasing atomic number in a period. (III) The electronegativity of an element is the tendency of an isolated atom to at tract an electron. Which of the above statements is/are correct?

(III) The electronegativity of an element is the tendency of an isolated atom to attract an electron. Which of the above statement is/are correct?

Anion is ..................... (larger / smaller) than the parent atom where as cation is ................... (larger / smaller) than the parent atom.

Explain : Anion has larger size than neutral atom. ………………………………………………………………………………………….
