What is the charge of an atom's nucleus?
positive
negative
neutral
none of these
Answer explanation
The nucleus has protons (+) and neutrons (0), so they add to be positive!

Increasing the number of protons in an atom within a row (a) the atomic number and (b) the radius of the atom.
Answer explanation
Adding more protons causes coulombic attraction to increase and pulls the electrons closer, decreasing the radius of the atom.

Why does an atom's radius increase when entering a new period (row)?
Examples: He -> Li, Ne -> Na, Ar -> K
A new electron shell is formed
More protons are added to the atom
More neutrons are added to the atom
The increased number of electrons increases repulsion forces
Answer explanation
Electrons are stored in shells or energy levels! Entering a new period requires a new shell to be added, drastically increasing the atomic radius.
