(1) It is because cl- ions gain one electron to achieve stable configuration and hence is bigger than cl atom.

(2) Argon atom is bigger than chlorine atom because argon atom has one more electron than chlorine.

(3) Because of chemical properties changes.

(4) Inert gas do not form ion as there outermost shell is complete.
