Question

give scientific reason: atomic radius goes on increasing down a group.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

- 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. 2) As you move across a period, atomic radius decreases.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. As we move from top to bottom in a group, number of shells increases.
2. The outermost electrons go farther and farther from the nucleus, extending the radius and ultimately increasing the size of the atom even though the nuclear charge increases.

Hence, atomic radius goes on increasing down a group.

Hope you understood mate!!!
