Argon is the atom that has the smallest radius in Period 3. As you go cross Period 3 from left to right, the atomic radii of the elements decrease. The elements in Period 3 from left to right begin with sodium and ends with argon.

What happens to the atomic radius when you go from left to right on the periodic table of elements?

The atomic radius decrease, with several exceptions in periods 6 and 5.


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.


What property increases going down the periodic table?

Your question is incorrect. It should be increases rather than decreases. Well it is the proton number (Z) that increases.

Period 5 with the atomic number of 38.


What is the size of cobalt the atom?

What happens to the atomic radius within a group of elements?

Because as you go down the group the atomic number increase. And by that the number of electrons in the electron cloud increases, thus widening the atomic radii. ***************2nd Opinion**************** If that were true, then atomic radius would also increase as you move to the right in a series. The reason atomic radius increases going down a family is that each atom has electrons in a whole new energy level compared to the atom above it. For example, Group 1: The outer shells are 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s.
