In comparison to their neutral parent atom, anions are bigger and cations are smaller.

<h3>Why are anions of the same element larger than their neutral counterparts?</h3>

They are forced to spread out more due to electron-electron attraction. They can get closer to each other because there is less electron-electron repulsion.

Because cations contain fewer electrons than their parent atoms while maintaining the same nuclear charge, they are always smaller than those atoms. The leftover electrons are therefore held by the protons in the nucleus more tightly, and as a result, their radii are less than those of the parent atoms. With anion, this is the exact opposite.

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Hi

before I answer a question I think very deeply and try my best, hope it helps...

As you know there are many different types of systems. For example, The solar system, galaxies, quantum systems, atoms, molecules, orchestras, nervous system, etc, things you may not have even considered a system. To get to the basis of a system we must first understand what a system is then we will show some examples. A system is a group of Parts (parts could mean anything even dark energy and dark matter) that work together to accomplish something. For example, your body has many many trillions of cells that all try to accomplish the functions of humans which include thinking, moving, breathing, circulation, etc. Cells in turn are a system that have counterparts called organelles that accomplish harvesting energy, making new proteins, getting rid of waste, and so on. These are some systems which we highly dependent upon.

Well i hope it helped

Answer:

Electrical resistivity and its inverse, electrical conductivity, is a fundamental property of a material that quantifies how strongly it resists or conducts electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows electric current. Resistivity is commonly represented by the Greek letter ρ.
