What happens to atomic radius as you move from bottom to top of the periodic table?

atomic radius decreases from bottom to top of the periodic table.


As you travel down a group the do atomic size increases or decreases?

it increases: for the atomic number indicates the number of protons and neutrons in the atom; these are the weight carrying particles


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.


What is the process that results in the increase of atomic number?

The number of energy levels increase within a group. Therefor the atomic radius increases. So the atomic volume also increases.The atomic radius also increases in a group.For metals, reactivity increases down the group. For non-metals, reactivity decreases down a group.


What happens to the group 1 elements as you go down the table?

As you go down group 1, the atomic number and atomic mass increase. Electronegtivity decreases and atomic radius increases.


What increases down a group and decreases across a period?

Atomic radius


How does atomic radius vary in group and in period on periodic table?

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.


Vertical columns in the periodic table indicate what information?

its called a family or group or both of them.


How do elements change going down the periodic table?

Down a group, the atomic number generally increases, size increases, ionization energy decreases, reactivity increases.


What property increases going down the periodic table?

Your question is incorrect. It should be increases rather than decreases. Well it is the proton number (Z) that increases.


How does size change in a period and in a group?

Atomic size decreases across a period as the effective nuclear charge increases. Atomic size increases down a group as the energy level (shells) increases.


As the elements in Group 17 are considered in order of increasing atomic number the chemical reactivity of each successive element decreases increases or remains the same?

The chemical reactivity decreases in group 17 as you go down the group.
