1. As Z stays constant and the number of electrons increases, the electron-electron repulsions , and the anion becomes larger.

2. The reverse is true for the cation, which becomes than the neutral atom.

1) increases

2) smaller

Explanation:

Generally, as electron- electron repulsion increases and more electrons are added to the atom while Z is held constant, the electron cloud size is increased. The size of the anion formed is usually measured as the size of this extended electron cloud. Hence the larger electron cloud means a larger anion size compared to the size of the neutral atom.

For a cation, the converse is true and the cation is found to be smaller than the neutral atom.
