Why are anions bigger than their parent atoms?

Answers

Answered by LittleMagic721

Answer:

Explanation: By nature, atoms are neutral in charge, as there are the same number of negative charges (electrons) as positive charges (protons). An anion gains an electron, making it larger than its mother atom.

A cation, on the other hand, loses one of its electrons, making it smaller.
