Question

why size of anion greater than parent atom​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hello mate

Explanation:

The addition of electrons always results in an anion that is larger than the parent atom. When the electrons outnumber the protons, the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is decreased.

Answer 2

❥︎Aɴsᴡᴇʀ

Size of an anion is larger than its parent atom.

The effective nuclear charge, Z

eff of the anion is smaller than that of its parent atom. This is because when an anion is formed from a neutral atom, the number of protons remains same but the number of electrons increases by 1. Hence, the same nuclear charge is acting on more electrons. The effective nuclear charge per electron is less.

Hence, the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect..
