Part H
Atomic radius generally increases as we move
up a group and from right to left across a period
up a group and from left to right across a period
Odown a group and from right to left across a period
down a group; the period position has no effect
down a group and from left to right across a period

Expert Solution

Step 1

Variation of atomic radius in a group :

In general, atomic radii increase gradually, as we go down a group. This is due to the reason that on moving down a group, there is addition of new shells. The number of electron shells increases and therefore, size of the atom increases.
