Chemistry textbooks typically include illustrations of atoms, but with caveats. The drawings depict atomic nuclei surrounded by electron orbitals-fuzzy spheres, barbells, tripods, and so on-but those figures represent the probability of finding an electron at a certain place around the nucleus rather than an actual "shape." Researchers have now managed to image the electron orbitals and show for the first time that, in a sense, atoms really look like those textbook images.

How do calculate the number of electrons in neutral atom poses?
Look up the atomic number of the element. The atomic number is the number of protons, in a neutral atom this is the same as the number of electrons.
When an atom becomes a cation what happens to it's radius?
When an atom becomes a cation, it loses one or more electrons, causing the outermost electron shell to contract. This contraction of the electron cloud results in a decrease in the atomic radius of the cation compared to the neutral atom.
