Which Is Greater In Size An Atom Or A Cation? [Solved]

When an atom loses an electron, it forms a cation. The number of protons in a cation is greater than the number of electrons. Thus, the attraction force between the electrons and the nucleus is greater which results in the decrease in atomic radii. Therefore, the size of an atom becomes greater than a cation.
