How does ionic radius change across the periodic table?
This is a hard question to address....
You know that ATOMIC size decreases across the Period, from left to right as we face the Table. Why? Well, atomic size is a function of (i) the nuclear charge
On the other hand, an ion may be produced by REDUCTION, to give an anion, or by OXIDATION, to give a cation, the which should be much smaller than that of the parent. A priori, we would expect that the ANION would have GREATER radius than its parent atom...and the PARENT ATOM would have GREATER radius than its daughter cation....given that atomic radius is defined by the radius of its valence electron.

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.
