Why is there a large increase in ionic radius from silicon to phosphorus?

Because while silicon loses electrons to be stable, it loses an electron shell, whereas phosphorus gains more electrons. Therefore, there is a difference of an entire electron shell.

When atoms gains electrons what happens to the atomic radius?
The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius
Ionic charge of Phosphorus oxide?
The oxides of phosphorus are covalent. There are no ionic charges.
What is the ionic compound of silicon dioxide?

Which element has a larger ionic radius than sulfur?
Phosphorus has larger ionic radius than sulfur. There is more nuclear attraction in sulfur.
What is the relationship of ionic radius and atomic number?
They both increase
Which element has the largest radius?
francium has the largest ionic radius
When atoms gains electrons what happens to the atomic radius?

Ionic charge of Phosphorus oxide?
The oxides of phosphorus are covalent. There are no ionic charges.
What is the atomic radius of iodide ion?
The ionic radius of the iodide ion, I- is 206pm. It is one of the largest monatomic anions. The ionic radii of the halogen ions increase down the halogen group.
Is silicon tetrachloride ionic covalent?
silicon is a metalloid so you can treat it as ionic and covalent

Is phosphorus pentoxide ionic or covalent bond?
Phosphorus pentoxide is a covalent bond, not a ionic. -Emiko Bunny
Is Phosphorus trifluoride a ionic or covalent bond?
ionic
Is silicon carbide ionic?
No. Silicon carbide is covalent.
What is the ionic radius trend across a period?
Atoms increase in size as you go down a column and are larger going from right to left across a row.because while going from left to right in a period electrons enter in the same orbit and hence the attraction between the nucleus increasees
