it gets bigger!
When an atom becomes a cation, it loses one or more electrons, resulting in a positive charge and a decrease in its overall radius due to reduced electron-electron repulsion. Conversely, when an atom becomes an anion, it gains one or more electrons, leading to a negative charge and an increase in its overall radius due to increased electron-electron repulsion.
The radius of an anion is bigger than the radius of a neutral atom.
The positive ionic radius is smaller than the neutral atomic radius
The radius of strontium is smaller than the radius of rubidium.
The atomic radius decreases.
The radius becomes one and a half times larger
The circle becomes an oval
The volume becomes eight-fold.

Conversely, when an atom becomes an anion, it gains one or more electrons, leading to a negative charge and an increase in its overall radius due to increased electron-electron repulsion.
The area becomes 16 times as much as it used to be.
The volume becomes one eighth.
The radius of an anion is bigger than the radius of a neutral atom.
The radius of any anion is larger than the original neutral atom. So phosphide (P^3-) which as gained 3 electrons, has a larger radius than phosphorous (P).
When an atom becomes a cation, it loses one or more electrons, causing the outermost electron shell to contract. This contraction of the electron cloud results in a decrease in the atomic radius of the cation compared to the neutral atom.
The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius
If the radius of a circle becomes 1/2 as long, the area becomes 1/4 as much.
Yes. The area is proportional to the square of the radius. If the radius becomes smaller, so does the area.
