What atom has the largest atomic radius calcium iodine potassium or cesium?

Potassium. It has two extra shells than lithium.


Why has bromine got a bigger atomic radius than iodine?

Bromine has a SMALLER atomic radius because it has one more electron shell than Iodine. On the periodic table, atomic radius of an atom decreases across a period and increases down a group. Since Bromine and Iodine are in the same group, you know Bromine has a smaller atomic radius because it is in a lower period.

Does potassium or krypton have bigger atoms?

If by "bigger" you mean having more protons, then Krypton has more, and therefore is heavier, weighing in at 83.8 (atomic weight). Potassium weighs a mere 39.0983. However, if by "bigger" you mean how much space it takes up, the atomic radius of Potassium is 227 pm, as opposed to Krypton's radius of 88 pm. The atomic radius is the average distance from the nucleus to the outside boundary of the electron cloud. I'd go to the internet for more, but hope this helps anyway.


Why is the atomic radius of iodine is greater that the atomic radius of fluorine?

Iodine has 53 electrons in its orbitals while fluorine only has nine. This does not even count the proton/neutron variance.


Which has the smallest radius K Rb K Rb?

Potassium's atomic radius is smaller than rubidium's because potassium has fewer energy levels of electrons.
