Atomic radius decreases across a row (increasing positive charge in the nucleus causes electrons in the same energy level to "shrink" into the nucleus due to electrostatic attraction). This means that potassium has the largest atomic radius in period 4.

There are no "atoms in an element," but rather atoms OF an element. If you are trying to find the number of atoms in a sample of a pure element you divide its weight by its molar mass and then multiply by 6.022 x 10^23 to get the answer in atoms. The answer options are 2,3, or 4.

What was Daltons theory based on?

Dalton's theory was based on five principle: 1.An element is fundamentally different from any other element. 2.All atoms of a each element are identical. 3.
