Answer:
When an atom has its electrons attracted to another atom it becomes a positive ion. The positive ion is smaller than the original atom. ... This means that with fewer electrons but the same number of positive protons, the size of the ionic radius will decrease.

Answer:
bcoz negative ions is gaining electrons which will increase their radius. and positive ions lose electron and will shorten the radius
That's why
Positive < Neutral < Negative
