This apparent contradiction between the chlorine ion and the sodium ion is; due to electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the electrons.
As we know, there's a periodic trend for atomic radii in the periodic table; the trend is as follows;
- <em>Atomic radius increases down a group and reduces across the period.</em>
Elements get larger down the group and this explains the trend down a group.
- However, atomic radius decreases across a period because the more Valence electrons there are in an element, the more the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons.
Consequently, when Chlorine forms an ion by gaining an electron, the electrostatic attraction between its nucleus and electrons increases and the the atomic radius decreases.
On the other hand, when sodium forms an ion by losing an electron, the electrostatic attraction between its nucleus and electrons decreases and the the atomic radius increases.

Answer:
"if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this earth would be!"
Explanation:
"The Girl Who Silenced the World for Five Minutes" was a speech delivered in 1992 by a twelve-year-old girl named Severn Cullis Suzuki. The speech was addressed in the U.N. assembly in Brazil.
She spoke about the threat being posed by humans on the environment. She called the whole earth a family of 5 billion people with some 30 million species.
<u>In her speech, she opines about how can the government use the monetary system to strengthen and make the earth a beautiful place to live in. She opined that the money that is spent on war instead should be used to end poverty and build the environment.</u>
The excerpt that suggests her opine is stated above in the answer section.
