<span>A. positive ions : Positive ions are formed when a neutral atom loses electrons. When neutral atoms lose electrons, the ions formed are always smaller than the neutral atoms.


B. negative ions : Yes. When the neutral atoms gain electrons to form negative ions, they always become larger, because the addition of one electron increases the electrostatic repulsion of the outermost electrons, forcing them to drift apart.


C. cations  No. Cation is the same that positive ion.

D. none of the above </span>

Series of discoveries through time have greatly shaped the Dalton's atomic theory. The discovery of cathode rays by J.J Thomson in 1897 opened up the atom. Atoms were now seen to be made up of some negatively charged particles. Ernest Rutherford through his gold foil experiment proposed the nuclear model of the atom.
