plz someone mark me as brainlist

Answer 2

Answer:

Atomic and ionic radii : -

i)As compared to group 15 clements, the atomic and ionic radii of group 16 elements are smaller due to higher nuclear charge.

ii) The atomic and ionic radii increase down the group from oxygen to polonium. This is due to the addition of a new shell at each successive elements on moving down the group. The atomic rad increases in the order
