The atomic radius decreases as the atomic number increases due to the fact that there is now a greater quantity of protons in the nucleus emitting greater intramolecular force, pulling the electrons closer towards it. This, thus, decreases the radius.
atomic radius decreases from bottom to top of the periodic table.
The atomic radius decreases from left to right and increases from top to bottom
Yes. The atomic radius increases down the group. This is because number of shells increases down the group.
Down a period the atomic radius increases as the number of shells (or energy levels) increases. Across a period the atomic radius decreases as the effective nuclear charge increases.
Four
Down a group, the atomic radius increases as the number of shells or energy levels increases.
decreases
The atomic radius increases going down the periodic table due to the addition of more electron shells around the nucleus, leading to increased shielding effect and weaker attraction between the electrons and the nucleus.
As the atomic number increases within a period (row) on the periodic table, the covalent radius generally decreases due to increasing nuclear charge pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus. Within a group (column), as the atomic number increases, the covalent radius tends to increase since new electron shells are being added, leading to a larger atomic size.

The atomic radius decreases from left to right across a period in the periodic table. This is due to the increasing number of protons in the nucleus, which pulls the electrons closer to the nucleus, resulting in a smaller atomic radius.
