What is Anion Size vs Parent Atom Explained about?

An anion is larger than its parent atom due to the gain of electrons, which increases electron-electron repulsion while the number of protons remains unchanged. This results in a decreased effective nuclear charge per electron, leading to a weaker attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. Consequently, the electron cloud expands, resulting in a larger ionic radius compared to the atomic radius.
