Atomic Radius Groups

Which atom has the largest atomic radius?

• potassium

• rubidium

• francium

• cesium

As you move down the periodic table atoms get bigger.  This is because ____________.

• The atoms have more mass.
• The atoms have more protons.
• The atoms have more energy levels
• The atoms have more nuetrons

As you move across the periodic table atoms tend to get smaller because, ______________.

• the atoms have more mass.
• the atoms have less mass
• the atoms have more protons.
• the atoms have less electrons.
