O, O2-, S2-, and Se2-
O is smaller than O2- because O2- has 2 extra electrons but the same amount of protons as O, so they are held less tightly and the atom is bigger. Atom size increases as you move down the Periodic Table, so O2- < S2- < Se2-.

What is half the distance from center to center of two atoms bonded together?
If the atoms are the same, it is the atomic radius.
Is the two atoms have same atomic radius?
Two atoms of same element (for a given isotope) are identical and hence have the same atomic radius.
What are arrangement of atoms by increasing atomic number?
The arrangement of atoms by increasing atomic number are shown in the periodic table.This can be seen from starting at H (Hydrogen) which has the smallest number of atoms and continues on from left to right.
What element has the largest atoms period 4?
Atomic radius decreases across a row (increasing positive charge in the nucleus causes electrons in the same energy level to "shrink" into the nucleus due to electrostatic attraction). This means that potassium has the largest atomic radius in period 4.
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.
What is half the distance from center to center of two atoms bonded together?
If the atoms are the same, it is the atomic radius.
Is the two atoms have same atomic radius?
Two atoms of same element (for a given isotope) are identical and hence have the same atomic radius.
What is the radius of phosphorus atoms is 1.9nm?
69
When atoms gains electrons what happens to the atomic radius?
The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius
Van der Waals radius and atomic radius?
van der waal radius is greater than co valent radius because van der waal radius is the distance between the nucleus of two atoms of different compound whereas covalent radius is distance between nucleus of atoms of same compound.
What are arrangement of atoms by increasing atomic number?
The arrangement of atoms by increasing atomic number are shown in the periodic table.This can be seen from starting at H (Hydrogen) which has the smallest number of atoms and continues on from left to right.
Nuclear charge increases across a period atoms become?
The atoms become smaller in atomic radius.
Is the ratio of the amount of hydrogen and helium in the sun increasing or decreasing?
Since hydrogen atoms in the sun are fused into helium atoms, the amount of helium is increasing and the amount of hydrogen is decreasing.
The thermal expansion of a solid is caused by?
Increasing the amplitude of the atoms vibrations
What atoms has the smallest radius al p as te na?
Sodium
Which has the biggest atoms?
The caesium atom with an empirical radius of 260 pm.
What element has the largest atoms period 4?
Atomic radius decreases across a row (increasing positive charge in the nucleus causes electrons in the same energy level to "shrink" into the nucleus due to electrostatic attraction). This means that potassium has the largest atomic radius in period 4.
