Atomic Radius
1. How does atomic radius change as you move from left to right across a period? Explain your answer in
terms of the number of protons in the nucleus.
2. How does atomic radius change as you move from top to bottom in a group? Explain your answer in terms
of the number of electron shells.
3. On the representation of the periodic table below. Draw 2 arrows (next to and below) to represent increasing
atomic radius. (Insert → Drawing → New)
Four main-group elements a, b, c and d are highlighted in the outline of the Periodic Table below:
List these elements below in order of decreasing atomic radius. For example, if an atom of a is the biggest, and b the next biggest, then your list should start
b, ...
a
d
X

с
Important: don't try to figure out exactly which elements are marked, and then use your knowledge of the properties of each specific element. You don't need
to. You will also be marked wrong for any answer, correct or not, that can't be determined from only the rough location of each marked element in the Periodic
Table.
