Are metals or non-metals larger ion size compared to the size of the neutral atom?

it has to be one of them
PLZ HELP

Respuesta :

Explanation:

Atoms of nonmetallic elements tend to form negative ions (anions) by gaining one or more electrons. ... From left to right across a period, the ionic size decreases as long as you are comparing all metals or all nonmetals. Between the metals and nonmetals, the ionic size increases as you switch from cations to anions
