What is atomic radius
The distance from the center of an atom to the outmost electron
Down a group the atomic radius increases
Why?
The peirod number increases hense the number of shells increase
Valnece electrons get to be further from the nucleus
Across a group period number decreses
Why?
th number of protons increases thus the nucleus gains protons. there’s is a greater stronger force of attraction between the nucleus and the outer shell. thus the shells are pulled towards the nucleus by the electrostatic force of attraction
decreasing atomic radius
