It does depend a fair amount on the poo particles. The smallest atom is a hydrogen atom (37 picometers) whereas some larger atoms more than 5 times larger (lanthanum is 187 picometers). If the atom is an ion, it will also change it's radius significantly (positive ions are smaller and negative ions are larger than the neutral atom).

No. It is the only way to measure an atom because the orbital is the outer part of the atom and determines its size.

What is the size of an atom?
The size of an atom refers to the typical distance from the nucleus to the boundary of the surrounding cloud of electrons.
Does Electronegativity increases as the size of the atom increases?
No. Electronegativity decreases as the size of the atom increase. As you go across a row in the periodic table, you will see that electronegativity increases and the size of the atom decreases. Similarly, as you go down a column you will notice that the size of the atom increases and electronegativity decreases.

How does the size of the nucleus compare to the size of an atom?
That depends on your definition of 'nucleus'. The nucleus or core of an atom is, obviously, smaller than the atom as a whole. But seeing as you placed this question in biology, a cellular nucleus is many billions of times the size of an atom.
Size of this determines the size of the atom?
THIS is the electron cloud.
How does the size of an anion compare with the size of its original electrically neutral atom?
The anion is larger than the original atom.
What happens to the size of a cation compared to its atom?
The size of cation decreases as compared to its atom. this is due to removal of electron.
What happens to the size anion compared to its atom?
The size of anion increases as compared to its atom. This is due to addition of electron.
How is the size of an anion different from the size of the atom from which it was formed?
Anion will have more electron than which atom it was form. So, after forming the the atom will have more electron cloud and size will be smaller compare to the original one.
