Discribe the theory associated with the radius of an atom as it loses

1.	Discribe the theory associated with the radius of an atom as it loses an electron
Answer» SOLUTION :By LOSING an electron,an atom forms its cation which contains ONE electron less but the nuclear charge remains the same. Thus EFFECTIVE nuclear charge of COTAIN is higher than that of the parent atom and hence cations are smaller in size than the parent atoms.
