Question

what does atomic radius and Ionic radius really means to you ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Atomic is the distance away from the nucleus and Ionic radius is the distance away from the central atom.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Atomic radius means the radius of an atom without any charge on it, that is, the atom is in neutral state without having lost an electron or gained an electron, although it may have a tendency to lose or gain electron for its stability.

Ionic radius means the radius of an atom having gained or lost an electron. It means the atom has a charge on it. If the atom gains an electron it becomes an anion, and its radius increases. If the atom loses an electron it becomes a cation and it radius decreases. (the term ion is like another name of atom with positive or negative charge.)
