as positive charge inc. along the period so atomic radii decreases.... But negative charge also inc.. and both has same magnitude so why radii decreases along the period
Answers
Explanation:
Atomic radius decreases from left to right within a period. This is caused by the increase in the number of protons and electrons across a period. One proton has a greater effect than one electron; thus, electrons are pulled towards the nucleus, resulting in a smaller radius.
Answer:
Explanation:1) As you move down a group, atomic radius increases.
WHY? - The number of energy levels increases as you move down a group as the number of electrons increases. Each subsequent energy level is further from the nucleus than the last. Therefore, the atomic radius increases as the group and energy levels increase. [Image]
2) As you move across a period, atomic radius decreases.
WHY? - As you go across a period, electrons are added to the same energy level. At the same time, protons are being added to the nucleus. The concentration of more protons in the nucleus creates a "higher effective nuclear charge." In other words, there is a stronger force of attraction pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus resulting in a smaller atomic radius.
