Answer:

Cations have smaller ionic radii than their neutral atoms. ... The cation, which is an ion with a positive charge, by definition has fewer electrons than protons. The loss in an electron will consequently result in a change in atomic radii in comparison to the neutral atom of interest (no charge).
