Question

what is the difference between ionic radius and atomic radius

Answer 1

In a neutral atom, the atomic and ionic radius are the same, but many elements exist as anions or cations. If the atomloses its outermost electron (positively charged or cation), the ionic radius is smaller than the atomic radius because the atom loses an electron energy shell. hope it helps...

Answer 2

$\Huge{\red{\underline{\textsf{Answer:}}}}$

⚝$\huge \underline \orange{Atomic\: radius:}$

➜ It is one-half of the inter nuclear distance between 2 adjacent atom of element is called as Atomic radius.

⚝$\huge \underline \pink{Ionic\: radius:}$

➜ It is distance of valance shell of electron from the center of nucleus in ion is called as Ionic radius.

⚝$\large{\red{\underline{\tt{The\:main\:diffrence:}}}}$

➜ Ionic radius is less as compare to Atomic radius of same element.
