Question

Explain the variation of Atomic size
across the 3d series elements​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Here the nuclear charge is increased with atomic number but due to more electron -electron repulsion in 3d and 4s orbitals as compared to force of attraction between nucleus and outer orbital electrons there is little expansion in size as compared to other elements in 3d series.
