As one electron is addded to the clorine, repulsion among the electrons are higher => and repulsion makes the clorine anion bigger.

Is the size of a positive ion generally bigger or smaller than the size of the neutral form which it forms?
We are working on this in Physical Science class. A negative ion is larger then its parent atom. A positive ion is smaller then its parent atom. =]
When iodine becomes an ion is the ion larger or smaller?
Iodine gains one electron to form iodide ion. The size of iodide ion is larger than the size of iodine atom.
How does the size of a negative ion compare to the size of the atom that formed it?
A cation is smaller than the neutral atom because one electron is removed from the original atom to form it. An anion is larger than the neutral atom because one electron is added to the original atom to form it.
When electron transfer results in an ion larger than the original atom?
An atom that has gained one or more electrons, becoming a negative ion, is larger than its parent atom.
What one is larger a chlorine atom or a chloride ion?
anion is always larger than its parent atom

Iodine gains one electron to form iodide ion. The size of iodide ion is larger than the size of iodine atom.
How does the size of a negative ion compare to the size of the atom that form?
The size of a negative ion is larger than atom. This makes more negative than positive, allowing the negative electrons to go farther from the nucleus.
How does the size of a negative ion compare to the size of the atom that formed it?
A cation is smaller than the neutral atom because one electron is removed from the original atom to form it. An anion is larger than the neutral atom because one electron is added to the original atom to form it.
Is a chlorine atom or chlorine ion bigger?
A sulfur atom is larger than an oxygen atom.
Which atom or ion in each what pairs would you expect to be larger H or H?
The size will be H- ion > H atom > H+ ion
When electron transfer results in an ion larger than the original atom?
An atom that has gained one or more electrons, becoming a negative ion, is larger than its parent atom.
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
A negative ion is than its parent atom?
A negative ion is larger than its parent atom because of its additional electron(s).
What one is larger a chlorine atom or a chloride ion?
anion is always larger than its parent atom
Is a negative ion larger or smaller than its parent atom?
Larger because a negative ion contains more electrons than its parent atom therefore it is larger. A positive ion would be smaller because it has less electrons than its parent atom.
Why is the chloride ion larger than the chloride atom?
The chloride ion is an anion, having one more electron than the chlorine atom.
