Why should the atomic size be small for the easy formation of anion |
|
Answer» Answer: The size of an anion is larger than its parent atom because anions are FORMED due to the gain of electrons. When the electrons INCREASE, there are still the same number of protons. The attractive FORCE is thus reduced as there are the same number of protons ATTRACTING an increased number of electrons. |
