What do you think happens to the size of an atom when the atom lose an electron?

It shrinks loosing an electron.


How is the size of an anion different from the size of the atom from which it was formed?

Anion will have more electron than which atom it was form. So, after forming the the atom will have more electron cloud and size will be smaller compare to the original one.


Which particle is most responsible for the size of an atom?

The electron is most responsible for the size of an atom because it occupies the space around the nucleus in electron clouds. The number of electrons and their energy levels determine the size of an atom.


Which is smallest in size an ion electron neutron or atom?

electron is the smallest


What do you think happens to the size of the electron when it loses and electron?

The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.


The physical size of an atom is largely determined by?

The physical size of an atom is largely determined by the size of the electron cloud.


Which is smallest in size - atom or electron?

An electron is much smaller in size than an atom. An atom consists of a nucleus (protons and neutrons) surrounded by electrons. The size of an electron is much smaller compared to the entire atom.


When a neutral atom loses an electron what happens to its size?

When a neutral atom loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion. The loss of an electron reduces the electron-electron repulsion, causing the remaining electrons to be more strongly attracted to the nucleus. This contraction in electron cloud typically results in a smaller ionic size compared to the neutral atom.


When a atom loses an electron it grows larger in size?

It grows smaller in size.


How does the size of the nucleus of an atom compare to the size of the electron cloud?

I need to know also


How does the size of each compare with the size of the neutral atom form which it is formed?

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.


The volume of an atom is determined by the size of its?

It can be determined by the size of it's electron. The reason for this being is because of the mass that is calculated by the protons to the neutrons of the atoms within the nucleus.
