Thesize of Cl^(-)=1.81ÅandCl=0.99Å.Explain.

Answer»

Solution :`C1-1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3p^(5),C1^(-)-1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3p^(6)`
GENERALLY anions are larger than their parent atom
`C1^(-)`had 18 electrons andC1 has 17 electrons . Thelater experiences an greater effective INWARD PULL by the nucleus.
This decreases the SIZE of C1 atom when compared to `C1^(-)` ion.
