The positive ionic radius is smaller than the neutral atomic radius
Magnesium is an element with a +2 charge when it forms ionic compounds, not a negative one.
The ionic radius of a Group 2 element is smaller than its atomic radius because, when these elements form cations (specifically, (M^{2+}) ions), they lose two electrons from their outermost shell. This loss of electrons results in a reduced electron-electron repulsion and allows the remaining electrons to be pulled closer to the nucleus, thus decreasing the size of the ion compared to the neutral atom. Additionally, the effective nuclear charge experienced by the remaining electrons increases, further contributing to the smaller ionic radius.
Chlorine (Cl) has a larger ionic radius than sulfur (S) when comparing their anions, specifically the chloride ion (Cl⁻) and the sulfide ion (S²⁻). The ionic radius of Cl⁻ is approximately 181 picometers, while the ionic radius of S²⁻ is about 184 picometers. Additionally, phosphorus (P) in its anionic form (P³⁻) also has a larger ionic radius than sulfur.

ionic charge and ionic radius; the smaller the ionic radius the greater the lattice energy
The element with the smallest negative ionic radius is fluorine (F). It has a small ionic radius due to the high effective nuclear charge, which attracts the electrons closer to the nucleus in the ionic form.
Potassium has a larger ionic radius than sulfur.
The list from smallest to largest ionic radius would be: Be2+, Mg2+, Ba2+, Ra2+. Beryllium and magnesium ions have smaller ionic radii due to their higher charge and stronger attractive forces compared to barium and radium ions.
The ionic radius of magnesium (Mg) affects its chemical properties. As the ionic radius decreases, the attraction between the nucleus and electrons increases, leading to higher reactivity and stronger bonding with other elements. This can influence properties such as solubility, melting point, and chemical reactivity of magnesium compounds.
An element that has a larger ionic radius than calcium is strontium. Strontium is located below calcium in the same group of the periodic table, which means it has an extra energy level and therefore a larger ionic radius.
Ionic Charge and Ionic Radius - the smaller the radius the greater the lattice energy
Ionic Charge and Ionic Radius - the smaller the radius the greater the lattice energy
the positive ionic radius is smaller than the neutral atomic radius
Phosphorus has larger ionic radius than sulfur. There is more nuclear attraction in sulfur.
Magnesium is an s-block element and it forms only ionic bonds with other elements.
