What elements is the smallest phosphorus silicon sulfur chlorine?
chlorine is the smallest in size. The order of atomic size is chlorine < sulphur < phosphorus < silicon.
Why chlorine is highly reactive than other halogens?
It isn't. Fluorine is more reactive. However, Chlorine is more reactive than Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. It is all to do with molecular size. Fluorine wants to get to a stable 10 electrons to be like Neon more than Chlorine wants to get to get 18 lectrons to be like Argon. This is because the valence/bonding electrons are closer to the nucleus in Fluorine than they are Chlorine and thus more strongly attracted.
How would you arrange these elements in order of decreasing atomic size sulfur chlorine aluminum and sodium?
Sodium, Aluminum, Sulfur, Chlorine Largest---------------------->Smallest
What has the smallest atomic radius Na Mg Cl Al?
chlorine. across a period the size decreases
Why the chlorine does not form hydrogen bond as the nitrogen do in spite the chlorine is more electronegative than nitrogen?
Size of Cl atom is bigger than size of N atom. Electronegativity difference is .12 which is negligible.
Which is smaller in size chlorine or argon in modern periodic table?
chlorine size is smaller
What elements is the smallest phosphorus silicon sulfur chlorine?
chlorine is the smallest in size. The order of atomic size is chlorine < sulphur < phosphorus < silicon.
What is the trend in atomic size across the period from sodium to argon?
across a period, the atomic size decreases as the effective nuclear charge increases.

Which is bigger in size aluminum atom or chlorine atom?
Elements atomic radii increase in size as they run down the columns of the periodic table or across the periodic table from right to left. So, Al is larger than Cl. XP
Where does argon rank?
The answer depends on what criterion is used for ranking: atomic number, atomic size, atomic mass, electro-positivity or negativity, boiling point, melting point, density at normal temperature and pressure, etc.
How does silicon have a larger atomic radius than chlorine?
I didn't check whether it actually is larger, but there is a general tendency for the atomic radius to DECREASE from left to right, in any given row of the periodic table. This is a result of an increase in the number of protons - and thus, of the positive electric charge, which keeps the electrons together.
How many chemical bonds in one atom of argon?
Argon is a noble gas element. It has a saturated electronic configuration i.e ns2, np6. So it has a octet configuration. It is already attained stable configuration. Also it has high ionisation energy. Small in atomic size. From the above it is confirmed that it exists in atomic state only and not is molecular form. Therefore chemical bond will be zero in an atom of argon.
What have the the smallest atomic radius Ge Se Br As?
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. J. M. Wampler, June 17, 2009
What argon's atom size?
