Question

why ionic radius of a metal is less than its atomic radius​

Answer 1

hlo mate here is your answer.

Metals - the atomic radius of a metal is generally larger than the ionic radius of the same element. Why? ... This creates a larger positive charge in the nucleus than the negative charge in the electron cloud, causing the electron cloud to be drawn a little closer to the nucleus as an ion.
