Question

why does the cation with greater positive charge have a smaller radius? 1 mark​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cations, which have lost at least 1 electron, carry a positive charge and their ionic radius is smaller due to this charge imbalance. Anions, on the other hand, have gained one or more electrons and have a net negative charge; anions have a larger radius due to these excess electrons.
