Want this question answered?
Ionic radius is greater than atomic radius in a negative ion and less than it in a positive ion.
The chloride ion is an anion, having one more electron than the chlorine atom.
a general answer is that if it is a cation the ion is smaller than the atom due to loosing one or more electrons which would decrease the size of the radius anions are larger because they are gaining more electrons and electron electron repulsion is greater which spreads the anion apart
Chloride ion is larger in size.
No. It is the other way around. The chloride ion has the extra electron.

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.
They do not. Sodium ions have a smaller ionic radius than chloride ions. This is because with the chloride ion, the 17 protons have more difficulty attracting 18 electrons in the Cl- ion than sodium does with 11 protons and only 10 electrons to attract with the Na+ ion. With sodium there is 1/11= 10% more attraction (by excess) than in neutral state and hence a smaller ionic radius. With chlorine 1/17= 5.5% less attraction by proton 'shortage' and hence a larger ionic radius. At the related link there are diagrams of sodium chloride showing the larger size of the chloride ion.

The chloride ion is an anion, having one more electron than the chlorine atom.
The positive ion lost an electron.
The nuclear charge is the same for both species, but the eight valence electrons in the sulfide ion experience a greater amount of electron-electron repulsion than do the six valence electrons in the neutral sulfur atom. This extra repulsion in the sulfide ion increases the average distance between the valence electrons, so the electron cloud around the sulfide ion has the greater radius.

No, the chloride ion is a single elemental ion, Cl-.
Chlorine ion (particularly Chloride ion) is more stable than Chlorine molecule
