Rank these elements in terms of increasing atomic radius?

In terms of atomic radius, the sequence would be oxygen, carbon (both period 2), magnesium (period 3), rubidium (period 4), and cesium (period 5). Note that order by periods is not absolute: in each period, the elements toward the far left side have the largest radii. For example, the radius for lithium in period 2 is larger than almost all of the elements in periods 3 and 4. *Numerically, the elements O, C, Mg, Rb, and Cs have respective radii of about 60, 70, 150, 235, and 260 picometers.


How you calculate the relative atomic weight of uranium?

The atomic weight of an element is derived from the atomic masses of the isotopes of this element and from the percentage of these isotopes. The correct terms are: - atomic weight for elements - atomic mass for an isotope


What trends can be noticed in the periodic table in terms of atomic radii?

The general trend is a decrease in size as you move from left to right . This is apparent in periods 2 and 3 but in period 4 and above we have the transition metals and these have some exceptions. This is due to the fact that as we moves from left to right along a period while the nuclear charge increases we are also adding extra electrons but the effective charge is mainly affected by the inner core electrons that "shield" the outer electrons. The effective nuclear charge, the charge felt by the outer electrons, increases across a period thus causing a contraction in the shell.


Does the atomic radius increase as you go from left to right because principal energy levels are added?

It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question because, in terms of the Periodic Table, the atomic radius DECREASES as you go from left to right! So the given reason would act in opposition to reality.


Is a sodium atom is larger than a silicon atom?

No. A cesium atom is larger both in terms of atomic mass and atomic radius.


How is the periodic table arranged in terms of their ato mic structures?

The elements in the periodic table are arranged in order of increasing atomic numbers.


Why is the first ionization energy of aluminium is less than the first ionisation energy of silicon?

Al has atomic number 13, and silicon has atomic number 14. The extra electron that silicon has is in a 3p orbital. In simple terms the extra charge on the silicon nucleus contracts the electron shell, this increases the energy to remove an electron and also decreases the atomic radius. Al, first ionization energy 577.5 kJ/mol, atomic radius 125pm Si, first ionization energy 786.3 kJ/mol, atomic radius 110pm

What is the formula of finding the surface area of a circle?

This is normally expressed in terms of the radius: area = pi x radius2.This is normally expressed in terms of the radius: area = pi x radius2.This is normally expressed in terms of the radius: area = pi x radius2.This is normally expressed in terms of the radius: area = pi x radius2.


What is the atom with same atomic number but different mass number?

We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.


Is N larger in size or F?

In terms of atomic radius yes, nitrogen is larger than fluorine. However, the common fluorine isotopes have a greater mass than those of nitrogen.
