Hey buddy!!
I think it's a typing error, anions are larger than parent atoms.T his is because when electrons are added to the parent atom to form an anion, the no of electrons in the atom increases and hence electron-electron repulsions increases causing the electrons to spread out more in space.
Thus, anions are larger than their parent atoms.
