Answer:
It depend on cationic charge- the less the charge, the more the radius
Explanation:
Ions may be larger or smaller than the neutral atom, depending on the ion's electric charge.
When an atom loses an electron to form a cation, the other electrons are more attracted to the nucleus, and the radius of the ion gets smaller.
