Question

What happens to atomic radii in a group and across a period?​

Answer 1

$\: \huge\mathbb\colorbox{black}{\color{white}{AnSwEr}}$

In general, atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down a group. Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, so there is a greater distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. This results in a larger atomic radius.
