bromine - atomic radius = 115 pm

calcium - atomic radius = 180 pm

so calcium is larger

Why Mg is harder than Na?

Mg. Mg has 2 valence electrons while Na only has 1 valence electron. Mg+2 also has a smaller ionic radius than Na+. Metallic bonds are stronger when metals have more valence electrons and smaller ion size. The metallic bond will be stronger for Mg. Thus, Mg will have the higher melting point.


What has the largest radius K or Na?

Postassium, K, has a larger radius than sodium, Na, because it is in the next period on the table but in the same group as sodium.

Which one would have smaller atomic size sodium or magnesium?

Both Mg and Na have the same outer energy level (shell). Mg has one proton more than NA and one electron more. The charge on th eouter shell the effective nuclear charge is reduced by the inner core electrons, which are the ame in both cases So the pull experienced by the valence electrons towards the nucleus is more in the case of Mg than Na. Hence Mg has slightly smaller size (radius) than Na.

NA


Which has a larger atomic radius sodium or cesium?

No. Lithium and sodium are both from the same column of the periodic table and so have similar chemical properties. Lithium is atomic number 3 with a weight of 6.94. Sodium is much bigger and heavier with an atomic number of 11 and a weight of 22.99.
