No, the charge either pulls the electron cloud closer (cation) or pushes it away (anion).

Why the radius of an atom larger than the radius a positive ion formed from it?
The positive ion lost an electron.
Who has the largest radius calcium atom or calcium ion?
The radius of a cadmium atom is smaller than the radium of a mercury atom. The trend for atomic radius is that the radius becomes larger toward the left side of the row and toward the bottom of the group.
Does an atom of neon have the same electrons as an atom of CI-ion?
No - but it has the same as a F- ion
What is an example of an atom of an element has properties that are very different from those of an ion of the same element?
its ion and atom properties differences is atom is like science ion-chemistry
How does a negative ion differ from an uncharge atom of the same element?
the ion has a greater number of electrons
When an atom of phosphorus becomes a phosphide ion p3 the radius?
When an element from anions, the radius of the ion increases when compared to that of the neutral atom. The same is the true for the element (phosphorus) and its anion (phosphide ion).
Why the radius of an atom larger than the radius a positive ion formed from it?
The positive ion lost an electron.
When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium does the atom of chlorine become an ion with a smaller or larger radius than the atom of chlorine?
It becomes an ion with a larger radius than the atom of chlorine
What is going to happen to the size of a positive ion as compared to the original atom?
The positive ion has donated an electron to another atom making the other atom a negative ion and much larger in radius. The positive ion is now much smaller in radius.
Who has the largest radius calcium atom or calcium ion?
The radius of a cadmium atom is smaller than the radium of a mercury atom. The trend for atomic radius is that the radius becomes larger toward the left side of the row and toward the bottom of the group.
Compare the size of the radius of a negative ion to its neutral atom?
The size of the Radius of a positve ion is smaller than a neutral atom because the postive ion has lost electrons, which means the outer most shell might be lost as well making the positve ion smaller and the nuetral atom remains the same
Does an atom of neon have the same electrons as an atom of CI-ion?
No - but it has the same as a F- ion
How can you tell if an atom is an ion?
If the number of protons and neutrons are the same, its an atom, if not its an ion
What is larger radius a sodium ion or chloride ion?
A chloride ion has a larger radius than a sodium ion, because the chloride has an additional complete valence shell of electrons compared to a sodium ion, but a sodium atom has lost the only electron in this valence shell that the sodium atom ever included to form a sodium ion.
Is the number of protons the same in the atom or ion of lithium?
The number of protons is the same in the atom and the ion of any element.
How can you figure out an ion's radius?
The atomic radius is calculated by spctroscopic or X-ray methods.
What do an atom ion and isotope of an ion have in common?
they all have the same element with the same number
