Analyze the given problem. Show your complete and detailed solution.  Compared to their neutral atom counterparts, ions will have smaller or larger atomic radii due to their losing or gaining electrons. According to Jensen (2010), Linus Pauling assigned the radius of the oxygen anion (O“) at 140 pm (larger than the neutral atom, 66 pm). On the other hand, the magnesium atom loses 95 ppm from its 160 ppm radius when it loses two valence electrons, forming the magnesium ion. If these two ions are at equilibrium separation distance, (a) find the value of r in pm.
