Difference between S and `S^(2-)` as `S^(2-)` hasA. Larger radii and larger sizeB. Smaller radii and larger sizeC. Larger radii and small sizeD. Smaller radii and small size

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Difference between `S and S^(2-)` implies larger radii and larger size of `S^(2-)`.
As the radii of the anion is always larger than the atomic radii of its parent atom. In an anion as electron or electrons are added to the neutral atom the nuclear charge acts on more electrons so that each electron is held less tightly and thereby the electron cloud expands.
