The reason for a cation to be smaller than its parent atom is
- A repulsion between the electrons of outer orbit
- B Increased electrostatic attraction between nucleus and electrons.
- C increase in the mass of the cation compared to neutral atom.
- D change in the number of protons of cation compared to neutral atom.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Increased electrostatic attraction between nucleus and electrons.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Cations are smaller than its parent atom due to higher electrostatic attraction between nucleus and electrons.
