  2. Sep 20, 2022 · How does the atomic radius of different elements change across a period? How does atomic radius change from top to bottom within a group? Explain why the atomic radius of hydrogen is so much smaller than the atomic radius of potassium.

  3. Oct 20, 2015 · Atomic radius decreases across a period because valence electrons are being added to the same energy level at the same time the nucleus is increasing in protons. The increase in nuclear charge attracts the electrons more strongly, pulling them closer to the nucleus.

  4. Oct 26, 2015 · Explanation: Top to bottom: because as you go down the periodic table, the energy level increases, the electrons (which is negatively charged) orbits further away from the positive nucleus, which means the attraction between the two is weak making the radius bigger.

  5. Aug 28, 2023 · Atomic radius decreases from left to right within a period. This is caused by the increase in the number of protons and electrons across a period. One proton has a greater effect than one electron; thus, electrons are pulled towards the nucleus, resulting in a smaller radius.

  6. The atomic number increases moving left to right across a period and subsequently so does the effective nuclear charge. Therefore, moving left to right across a period the nucleus has a greater pull on the outer electrons and the atomic radii decreases.

  7. Oct 31, 2014 · Atomic radius is half the distance between two identical atoms touching each other. atomic radius increases as you move right to left; atomic radius increases as you move down; As you move across the periodic table from right to left, each element contains one more electron and one more proton.
