Question

Which of the following element have the minimum atomic radius Lithium, sodium, potassium,flourine

Answer 1

From the following Fluorine (F) has the minimum atomic radius.

Plz mark brainliest.

Answer 2

We know that atomic radius decreases as we go from left to right in a period due to increase in effective nuclear charge BUT we also know that atomic radius increases as we go down in a group due to more shells being added and thus a decrease in effective nuclear charge , Potassium should have the maximum atomic radius and Flourine should have the least atomic radius.
