On moving down the group, the radius of an ion -- Increases.
Explanation :
An atom with a charge is called as An Ion.
If a neutral atom looses electron it is called as cation and if neutral atom gains electrons it is called as Anion.
In a group, radius of an ion increases because the size of the atom increases down the group..
As we move down in a group the additional electron is added to new shell .Hence increase in its radius
