How do you determine if an ion is larger?
For example, which ion is larger in each pair?
#Ca^(2+)# , #Mg^(2+)#
#Cl^-# , #P^(3-)#
#Cu^+# , #Cu^(2+)#
For example, which ion is larger in each pair?
The cationic radius should decrease in relation to the atomic radius because the formation of a cation necessitates the loss of an electron, which is taken out of the valence shell and no longer available to shield the nuclear charge.
The valence should expand, resulting in an anion having a larger radius than its parent atoms, when an atom is reduced and takes electrons into its valence shell to form an anion.

Compare the number of electrons. More electrons result in a larger ion.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
