in the case of non-metals, the anions are formed by the addition of electrons. So the ionic radius is larger than that of the atomic radius

What happens to the atomic radius when an electron is lost?
the positive ionic radius is smaller than the neutral atomic radius
Does a metal have a greater atomic radius or ionic radius?
A metal will tend to lose electrons and hence the atomic radius is higher than the ionic radius.
How does ionic radius differ from atomic radius?
Ionic radius is greater than atomic radius in a negative ion and less than it in a positive ion.
What happens to the atomic radius when an electron is gained?
The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius
What is the relationship of ionic radius and atomic number?
They both increase

When atoms gains electrons what happens to the atomic radius?
The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius

What is hydrogens atomic radius?
* Atomic Radius: 0.79Å * Atomic Volume: 14.4cm3/mol * Covalent Radius: 0.32Å * Ionic Radius: 0.012Å * Atomic Radius: 0.79Å * Atomic Volume: 14.4cm3/mol * Covalent Radius: 0.32Å * Ionic Radius: 0.012Å

How does the size of the atomic radius in a nonmetal compare to size of its ionic radius?
I'm not positive but.... the ionic radius of a metallic atom is slammer than its atomic radius because metallic atoms want to loose electrons. The loss of electrons increases the pull of the nucleus, drawing the electrons closer and thereby making the ionic radius smaller than the atomic radius.
What is the trend in ionic radius from left to right within a period?
Atomic radius
Is metallic radius only for metals?
Yes. There are other measures for ions (ionic radius) and free atoms(atomic radius) and covalent radius. Metallic, ionic and covalent are based on measurements of distances in crystals or covelnt bond lengths, atomic radius is based more on calcuation than observation.
What is another word for atomic radius?
The other word for atomic radius includes the Van der Waals radius, ionic radius, and covalent radius. The atomic radius refers to half the distance between the nuclei of identical neighboring atoms in the solid form of an element.
