Of the noble gases, helium has the smallest atomic radius. There are different ways to define atomic radius, and the different ways give different results so I will not attempt to present values for the radii of the inert gas atoms. Instead, I will point out a practical consequence of the small atomic radius of helium. Because of the small size of its atoms, helium diffuses out of common silicate minerals much more easily than do the other inert gases.

What elements has the smallest atomic radius Ge Se Br As?

The element with the smallest atomic radius among Ge, Se, Br, and As is Arsenic (As). Atomic size generally decreases across a period from left to right, so the elements in this group progress in order of increasing atomic radius: Germanium (Ge) > Selenium (Se) > Bromine (Br) > Arsenic (As).


What is the atomic radius of Ge?

Gallium has an atomic radius of 135 picometers.


Which has the greatest atomic radius Pb or Ge?

Lead (Pb) has a greater atomic radius than germanium (Ge) because atomic radius generally increases down a group in the periodic table. Lead is located below germanium in the periodic table, so it has more electron shells and a larger atomic radius.

What is the atomic symbol of germanium?

'Ge' . Found in the Periodic Table in Group 4' below silicon.


Which element is the largest K Rb Na Li?

Rb (rubidium) is the largest element among K (potassium), Rb (rubidium), Na (sodium), and Li (lithium). This is because as you move down a group in the periodic table, the atomic size increases due to the addition of more electron shells.
