the further you go down the family, the larger the atoms get, because they have mroe shells and thus they need more space to fit those shells.
As you go down a group in the Periodic Table, the atomic radius increases.

How does the size of a negative ion compare to the size of the atom that formed it?
A cation is smaller than the neutral atom because one electron is removed from the original atom to form it. An anion is larger than the neutral atom because one electron is added to the original atom to form it.
If the nucleus of an atom were the size of a marble then the atom itself would be the size of?
The atom itself would be the size of an NFL stadium.
What is the Size of carbon atom?
the size of a carbon adom the size of a carbon adom
How does the size change when an atom forms a cation and when an atom forms an anion?
A metal atom is smaller than the cation formed from it, because the electron(s) lost from a metal atom to form its cations are from the outermost electron shell or energy level of the atom. These electrons increase the size of the atom compared with the cation.
How will electron configuration of the atom change when the atom becomes an ion?
how will the electron configuration of the atom change when the atom becomes an iron
The volume of an atom is determined by the size of?
By the size of the atom and its mass
How does the size of a negative ion compare to the size of the atom that formed it?
A cation is smaller than the neutral atom because one electron is removed from the original atom to form it. An anion is larger than the neutral atom because one electron is added to the original atom to form it.
If the nucleus of an atom were the size of a marble then the atom itself would be the size of?
The atom itself would be the size of an NFL stadium.
What is the size of a proton in a beryllium atom?
The same size as it is in a Helium atom
What is the approximate size of an atom?
An atom is the size of an orange compared to the Earth.
Is measuring the size of an atom by the size of its orbital not very accurate?
No. It is the only way to measure an atom because the orbital is the outer part of the atom and determines its size.
The physical size of an atom is largely determined by?
The physical size of an atom is largely determined by the size of the electron cloud.
What is the size of an atom?
The size of an atom refers to the typical distance from the nucleus to the boundary of the surrounding cloud of electrons.
What is the size is an atom?
The size of an atom refers to the typical distance from the nucleus to the boundary of the surrounding cloud of electrons.
How is the size of an anion different from the size of the atom from which it was formed?
Anion will have more electron than which atom it was form. So, after forming the the atom will have more electron cloud and size will be smaller compare to the original one.
Which element has the smallest atom size?
The smallest atom is hydrogen.
What is the size of an atom versus an electron?
an atom is larger than an electron
