An atom that has gained one or more electrons, becoming a negative ion, is larger than its parent atom.
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.
If an atom gains an electron, it becomes an anion, which is negative. Anions are larger than the original atom because of the added electrons. N + electron(-) --> N(-) If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and positively charged. Cations are smaller than the original atom because of the lost electrons. N(2+) = cation
Atoms with larger atomic numbers have more protons in their nucleus. This results in increased electrostatic repulsion between the protons, making the nucleus less stable. Additionally, larger atoms have more electrons, which increases the likelihood of electron-electron repulsion. These factors contribute to the overall instability of atoms with larger atomic numbers.
Because it has an extra electron
The potassium is larger radius because it has more electron shells.
If an atom gains an electron, it becomes an anion, which is negative. Anions are larger than the original atom because of the added electrons.

Atoms with larger atomic numbers have a larger electron cloud, or system of orbitals
Protons have a larger mass, but it is unclear which (if either) have a larger radius. The electron does not seem to have ANY measurable radius.
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.
Yes it is.
an atom is larger than an electron
An electron is 1/1,836 of a proton.
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.
Direct population transfer involves physically moving individuals from one place to another, whereas indirect population transfer involves mechanisms such as providing economic incentives or promoting certain cultural practices to encourage population movement. Direct transfer is more explicit and involves direct relocation of individuals, while indirect transfer is more subtle and may affect population movement through various indirect means.
An electron beam makes the object become larger.
The electron cloud around the nucleus of an atom includes probable locations rather than precise orbitals.Atoms with larger atomic numbers have a larger electron cloud, or system of orbitals.
