Answer:

Cations are always smaller than their parent atoms this is because they have lesser electrons, while their nuclear charge remains the same. The remaining electrons are, therefore held more tightly by the protons in the nucleus and thus their radii. are smaller than the parent atoms. This is opposite in case of anions.

Answer:

Cation is formed when an atom loses electron . Due to this the effective nuclear charge becomes more than the repulsive charge exerted by electrons on each other .

Thus the size of cation decreases .
