Question
Chapter 8, Problem 8.39QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Largest atom in Group 4A has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Atomic radius is the distance between the atomic nucleus and outermost shell having electrons of an atom. From the atomic radius, the size of atoms can be visualized
Along the period, the valence electron is added to the same shell and thus attraction by the nucleus gets stronger. Therefore, atomic radii reduces from left to right in the periodic table, atomic radii increases from top to bottom in the periodic table.
Group 4A in the periodic table contains 4 valence electrons and the outer electronic configuration is ns2np2.
