Atomic Radii

As you move down a group, atomic radius increases because - 

• you add more and more neutrons

• you add more and more protons

• you add more and more shells (energy levels)

• you add more atomic mass

Which of the following elements has the largest atomic radius?

• Li

• Na

• K

• Rb

As you move across the periodic table from left to right, the atomic radius decreases.  This is because - 

• the number of protons increases, so attraction to electrons increases

• the number of energy levels increases

• the number of electrons increases

• the atomic mass increases

Atomic Radius really refers to ...

• the relative size of the atom's nucleus

• the relative size of the atom's electron cloud
