The radius of cation always smaller to its parental elements? Why? |
|
Answer» Cation are always Smaller than their parental atoms, this is because they have lesser electrons, while their nuclear charge remains the same. The remaining electrons are, therefore held more tightly by the protons in the nucleus and thus their radii are smaller than the parental atom. Very simple..☺☺ |
