23. The removal of an electron from an atom results in the formation of a
cation, whereas
gain of an electron leads to an anion. The ionic radii can be estimated by
measuring the
distances between cations and anions in ionic crystals. A cation is smaller
than its
parent atom because it has fewer electrons while its nuclear change remains
the same. The
size of an anion will be larger than that of the parent atom because the
addition of one
or more electrons would result in increased repulsion among the electrons and
a decrease
in effective nuclear charge. When we find some atoms and ions which contain
the same
number of electrons, we call them isoelectronic species.
