Large size cation and small size anion

srilathaduganapalli1: How???

niraimathihepo: Larger the radius it donates its valence electron easily in cation.

niraimathihepo: Smaller the radius nucleus attracts the electron easily in anion.

niraimathihepo: Due to less attraction between the valence shell and the nucleus cation donates its electron easily
