Can you not get your Periodic Table, and classify the ions according to size?
Explanation:
It is well known that for
For parent atoms in the same Period, ANIONS are going to be intrinsically larger, because electrons are added to the valence shell, the which expands. Cations of the same Period are going to be intrinsically smaller, because a valence shell may be entirely removed. Have a stab at it, and report the results back here.
