Answer:
Neutral atoms that have gained an electron are called anions, and they are much larger than their respective atoms. As an additional electron occupies an outer orbital, there is increased electron-electron repulsion (and hence, increased shielding) which pushes the electrons further apart.

Answer:
general, anions are larger than the corresponding neutral atom, since adding electrons increases the number of electron-electron repulsion interactions that take place. Cations are smaller than the corresponding neutral atoms, since the valence electrons, which are furthest away from the nucleus, are lost.
