Is it true Moving across a row of the periodic table the atoms tend to get bigger?

yes


Which atom is the smallest among lithium and fluorine?

Fluorine because it has a smaller atomic radius.


Why don't atoms simply get larger you read across the periodic table?

because the no. of shells in the atoms across the Periodic Table remains the same

Is nitrogen dioxide smaller than bromine molecule?

Atoms become larger as we go down a column of the periodic table, and they becomes smaller as we go across a row of the table.


How are the smaller atoms formed?

the bigger atoms exploded making much smaller ones


Describe relationships between elements using the periodic table.HELP?

As you go across the periodic table from left the right the metallic nature decreases and the non- metallic nature increase. As we go down the group of atoms on the metal side the atoms get bigger and being metals loose electrons more easily therefore become more reactive As we go the group of atoms on the non metal side the atoms get smaller and are less likely for electrons to be gained


Which is bigger Li plus or Al 3 plus?

Al, because as you go across the periodic table, atoms get bigger. As you go down colums, they get bigger too. Look up "atomic radii table" if you would like to see it in pictures.

particle is a general term. subatomic particles are smaller than atoms. dirt particles, for example, are much bigger than atoms


Nuclear charge increases across a period atoms become?

The atoms become smaller in atomic radius.


Why do the properties of elements change across the period?

They change because the atomic number and mass differ from each other element. Going across the Periodic Table to the right, the atoms get smaller because another proton is added each time so the effective nuclear charge experienced by the electrons is greater and the electrons are pulled closer to the nucleus. Electronegativity increases as you progress across a period because smaller atoms are usually more likely to gain an electron. Ionization energy increases across a period because the atoms are smaller, pulled closer to the nucleus, so it takes more energy to break an electron away.
