Ionic radius, r ion, is the radius of an atom's ion.Although neither atoms nor ions have sharp boundaries, they are sometimes treated as if they were hard spheres with radii such that the sum of ionic radii of the cation and anion gives the distance between the ions in a crystal lattice.herefore, the distance between the Na + and Cl â ions is half of 564.02 pm, which is 282.01 pm. However, although X-ray crystallography gives the distance between ions, it doesn't indicate where the boundary is between those ions, so it doesn't directly give ionic radii.
What is the ionic charge of a sulfate ion? Which has a larger ionic radius a strontium ion or a rubidium ion? Both are ions and we should consider the ionic radius, not the atomic radius. Rubidium ion (Rb+) will have a larger IONIC radius than strontium ion (Sr2+). Both ions have â¦the same electronic configuration. But strontium ion has more number of protons in the nucleus. Hence it will have greater force of attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons, resulting in smaller size.
