Ion Size<br />
Define Ion Size:<br />
Explanation:<br />
Ion size increases down the periods of the periodic table due to the addition of a valence shell, allowing for<br />
more space to be filled in an atom. Altough, as you go from left ot right in the groups of the periodic table, the<br />
size of the atom will actually decrease due to the increased gravitational pull, which brings the electrons in<br />
closer, so the atom is then becoming smaller.
