When electrons are added to the outermost shell of a carbon atom, it forms an anion that has a larger radius. An anion always has a larger radius than a neutral atom of the same element. This is because more electrons cause greater repulsion between its nucleus and electrons, making the electrons move farther away from the center.

Answer:

When electrons are added to the outermost shell of a carbon atom, it forms anion that has a larger radius.

Explanation:

Electron affinity is the change in energy when a neutral atom in its gaseous form gains an electron to form a negative ion. For example, when a neutral fluorine atom in its gas state gains an electron, it releases energy to form a fluoride ion.

It was developed by Alfred Wegener around 1912-1915 time frame. He proposed his theory of the "continental drift". He proposed that the continents plowed through crust  of ocean basins. He said that the continents look like a puzzle piece to put together. It's very interesting.

Hope this helped :)
