How does the ionic radius of a typical anion compare with radius for corresponding neutral atom?

The anion is bigger. Because in an anion there are more electrons than protons in the nucleus, making the pull on the electrons weaker.

The ionic radius of a typical anion is larger than the radius of the corresponding neutral atom. This is because when an atom gains an electron to become an anion, the extra electron increases the electron-electron repulsion, causing the electron cloud to expand, resulting in a larger ionic radius.

What happens to the atomic radius when an electron is lost?
the positive ionic radius is smaller than the neutral atomic radius
What is the relationship between atomic radius and the corresponding model radius?
tru
Why are the ionic radii of positive ions smaller than their corresponding atomic radii?
Positive ions have lost electrons, resulting in fewer electron-electron repulsions within the electron cloud, causing it to shrink. This leads to a smaller ionic radius compared to the corresponding neutral atom.
When an atom becomes a cation what happens to it's radius?
When an atom becomes a cation, it loses one or more electrons, causing the outermost electron shell to contract. This contraction of the electron cloud results in a decrease in the atomic radius of the cation compared to the neutral atom.
How does a plus exponent change the atomic radius?
A cation has a smaller atomic radius compared with the neutral atom.
Why is the radius of anion more than the corresponding atom?
An anion has more electrons than a neutral atom.
What happens to the atomic radius when an electron is lost?
the positive ionic radius is smaller than the neutral atomic radius
What is the relationship between atomic radius and the corresponding model radius?

How do a stars radius compare with their mass?
the bigger the radius the more the mass.
What happens to an atomic radius when an electrons is lost?
The positive ionic radius is smaller than the neutral atomic radius
What happens to the atomic radius when an electron is gained?
The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius
When the atom becomes an anion what happens to its radius?
The radius of an anion is bigger than the radius of a neutral atom.
How does the radius of the electron cloud compare to the radius of the nucleus?
It is about 100,000 times larger
When atoms gains electrons what happens to the atomic radius?
The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius
How do the the radius and diameter of a circle compare?
The diameter of a circle is twice its radius
What is the length of an arc corresponding to an angle of one radians?
Equal to the length of the radius.
When an atom becomes a cation what happens to it's radius?
When an atom becomes a cation, it loses one or more electrons, causing the outermost electron shell to contract. This contraction of the electron cloud results in a decrease in the atomic radius of the cation compared to the neutral atom.
