What does ionic radii mean?
Radius of an ion
The difference in radius between an atom in its neutral state (atomic radius) and an ionic state (ionic radius) depends on the charge of the ion.
Because of the number of protons and electrons in the ion, the radius grows with increasing negative charge and decreases with increasing positive charge.

Ionic radii refer to the measure of the size of an ion in a crystal lattice. It is typically expressed in picometers (pm) or angstroms (Å). Ionic radii depend on the number of electrons an atom has gained or lost to become an ion. When an atom loses electrons to form a positively charged ion (cation), its ionic radius decreases. Conversely, when an atom gains electrons to form a negatively charged ion (anion), its ionic radius increases.

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.
