How does the atomic radius change down a group in the periodic table?

because new shell are being added as we move down the group and the electron is being far away from the nucleus so the attraction bettween the nucleus and the electron is smaller It means that their is a less use of ionisation energy . Therefore, atomic radius increase down the group.

∙ 11y agoThe atomic numbers of the elements down a group increase. this means, more electrons. More electrons mean more shells. More shells mean larger radius. Larger radius is nothing but larger size.
Thus, the number of electrons or shells is the reason why the size of the atom of elements increase down the group.

∙ 15y agoIt increases moving down a group because as you move down a group the number of energy levels increase as you go down and so the number of electrons increase causing the atomic radius to increase.

What property increases going down a group in periodic table?
Atomic size, number of shells (or energy levels) and electropositivity increases down a group on the periodic table.
Were on the periodic table would you find atoms with the largest atomic radius?
Atomic radius increases down the group. So larger atomic radius are present at the bottom.
In general the atomic radius of an atom as you move down a column in the periodic table?
Decreases. Look at the images under atomic radius, on wikipedia.
How does atomic size generally go on the periodic table?
Atomic radius generally decreases as you go from left to right in the same period. Atomic radius increases as you go down the same group.
As each successive element in Group 15 of the Periodic Table is considered in order of increasing atomic number the atomic radius does what?
Increases
. How does atomic radius change from top to bottom in a group in the periodic table?
It tends to increaseThe atomic radius increases down the group
Does Francium have the largest atomic radius on the periodic table?
Francium has the largest atomic radius in Group 1 of the Periodic Table.
How does atomic radius increases in the periodic table?
atomic radius increases down a group as the number of shells increases
What happens to atomic radius as you move from bottom to top of the periodic table?
atomic radius decreases from bottom to top of the periodic table.
Were on the periodic table would you find atoms with the largest atomic radius?
Atomic radius increases down the group. So larger atomic radius are present at the bottom.
What property increases going down a group in periodic table?
Atomic size, number of shells (or energy levels) and electropositivity increases down a group on the periodic table.
Can you describe the general trend in atomic radius in group 2A?
In the group 2 (IUPAC name) of the periodic table the atomic radius increase from beryllium to radium.
When you go left to right on the periodic table what happens to the atomic radius?
Yes. The atomic radius increases down the group. This is because number of shells increases down the group.
Which of these elements has the largest atomic radius. Aluminum potassium fluorine. Calcium?
Potassium has the largest atomic radius. It is in the 1st group of the periodic table. Fluorine has the least atomic radius.
What happens to the atomic radius as you move down the periodic table?
Down a group, the atomic radius increases as the number of shells or energy levels increases.
How does atomic radius vary down a group?
Atomic radius increases down a group on the periodic table because with each additional period an energy level is added.
How does the atomic radius change from top to bottom in a group 1 and 2 in the periodic table?
Going down and to the left on the periodic table, atomic radius increases. Therefore, the smallest atomic radius is that of Helium (He), and the largest is that of Francium (Fr). Coincidentally, these are also the most and least reactive elements.
