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.


Which element in each pair has atoms with a larger atomic radius selenium oxygen?

For the representative elements (main group elements), atomic radius generally decreases from left to right across a period. Example: B and Fl: Fl has the smaller atomic radius Li and Be: Be has the smaller atomic radius


What is the Group trend Atomic radius?

Atomic radius increases down the group. This is because of the increase in number of shells.


Which group of the main group elements contains the largest elements - Atomic Radius?

Group-1 has largest atomic radius. It decreases across a period


. How does atomic radius change from top to bottom in a group in the periodic table?

It tends to increaseThe atomic radius increases down the group


What do you notice about atomic radius as you look down a group?

As you look down a group you notice that the atomic radius increases or becomes larger.


Does oxygen have a greatest atomic radius then sulfur?

Sulfer. The atomic radius increases as you go down a group.


When you go left to right on the periodic table what happens to the atomic radius?

Yes. The atomic radius increases down the group. This is because number of shells increases down the group.


Given any two elements within a group is the element with the larger atomic number likely to have a larger or smaller atomic radius than the other element?

The atomic radius decreases across a period from left to right and increases down in a given group. That means that since the lower the element is in a group, the larger the atomic radius will be. The atoms with the largest atomic radii are located in Group I and are at the bottom of groups.


Were on the periodic table would you find atoms with the largest atomic radius?

Atomic radius increases down the group. So larger atomic radius are present at the bottom.


Elements like francium located at the bottom of a group have a lower attraction for their valence electrons because they have a?

large atomic radius.large atomic radius.


Does an aluminum ion have a larger or smaller radius than magnesium?

Induim because as you go across a group and down a period (or across a period and down a group, I forget which is correct) the atomic radius gets larger.
