11. I have no idea why I asked this question!!!! |
11. For metals, atom will lose its valence electron(s) (has a lower CF thereby low Ionization Energy), the Atomic radii is always greater than Ionic radii. For non-metals, atom gains electrons valence electrons (has a high CF) and due to electron - electron repulsion, the Ionic radii is always lager than the Atomic radii. |
