Solution

Cl atomic number is 17 (17 electrons, 17 protons), when it gains electron then becomes $C l^{-}$ having 18 electrons and 17 protons. Due to excessive of the electron, electron-electron repulsion becomes dominant as compared to electron-proton attraction. Due to this repulsion, $C l^{-}$ size becomes larger.
