Across a period the atomic size decreases. Hence elements in the right side of the periodic table have small size / radii.

What happens to the radii of the elements between 2 highest peaks?

The radii of elements generally decrease as you move from left to right across a period in the periodic table. The radii then increase as you move down a group in the periodic table. This trend is due to changes in the atomic structure of the elements.


The elements with the smallest atomic radii are found in the?

The elements with the smallest atomic radii are found in the top of the P block of the periodic table. Helium (He) has the smallest atomic radius. Francium, on the other side of the periodic table (very bottom of the S block), has the largest atomic radius.


What are the characteristics of a period in the periodic table?

Elements in a period all have the same number of electron shells (excepting the transition elements). Also, electronegativity increases left to right and up, and atomic radii increase right to left and down.


Graph the atomic radii for the first 20 elements?

I'm unable to graph atomic radii in this text-based format. However, you can find data on atomic radii for the first 20 elements in a periodic table resource or chemistry textbook. Atomic radii generally decrease across a period from left to right and increase down a group from top to bottom.


What group of elements has the smallest atomi radii?

The group of elements with the smallest atomic radii is the noble gases, specifically those in the helium group (Group 18). These elements, such as helium and neon, have very low atomic radii due to their high effective nuclear charge and complete electron shells, which pull the electrons closer to the nucleus. As you move across a period in the periodic table from left to right, atomic radii generally decrease, with noble gases being some of the smallest.


How do atomic radii change from left to right across a horizontal row of the periodic table and what is the main reason?

Atomic radii decreases on moving from left to right as the effective nuclear charge increases.


Which characteristics both generally decrease in period three from left to right?

Atomic radii decreases from left to right in the periodic table


Do protons shrink when moving them left to right the periodic table?

No. Atomic radii shrink. Protons never shrink.


Where are atoms with the largest and smallest atomic radii found?

The atoms with the largest atomic radii are found in the lower right side of the periodic table. Smallest atoms are found in the higher left part of the periodic table. He has the smallest atomic radii.


Of the following which has smallest atomic radius sulfur aluminum sodium barium?

Atomic radii become larger as you go from top to bottom of the periodic chart, but they get smaller as you go from left to right. Therefore, the elements with the smallest radii are in the upper right hand corner. Of S, Al, Na, and Ba, sulfur is the closest to the upper right corner and has the smallest radius of those elements.
