From what I understand, the guy who came up with the periodic table just used trial and error to find a way to chart the elements, the way he arranged them is as close as it gets to fitting a pattern.

How can you find out the atomic radii?

Look for a reference chart in a book or online. Look for a Periodic Table of the Elements that has the atomic radii on it.


What happens to the radii of the elements between 2 highest peaks?

The radii of elements generally decrease as you move from left to right across a period in the periodic table. The radii then increase as you move down a group in the periodic table. This trend is due to changes in the atomic structure of the elements.


What are on the periodic table is the greatest in atomic radii?

group 1 elements


Where are atoms with the largest and smallest atomic radii found?

The atoms with the largest atomic radii are found in the lower right side of the periodic table. Smallest atoms are found in the higher left part of the periodic table. He has the smallest atomic radii.


Do the elements to the right of the periodic table have small or large radii?

Elements to the right of the periodic table have smaller radii due to increased effective nuclear charge, which attracts the electrons closer to the nucleus. This results in a greater pull on the outer electrons and smaller atomic radii overall.


The elements with the smallest atomic radii are found in the?

The elements with the smallest atomic radii are found in the top of the P block of the periodic table. Helium (He) has the smallest atomic radius. Francium, on the other side of the periodic table (very bottom of the S block), has the largest atomic radius.


As you move down the periodic table from carbon through lead atomic radii...?

increase gradually due to the addition of more electron shells and increased nuclear charge.


How does the atomic radius increase or decrease horizontally on the periodic table?

Atomic radius decreases horizontally in periodic table. This is due to increase in nuclear charge.


Graph the atomic radii for the first 20 elements?

I'm unable to graph atomic radii in this text-based format. However, you can find data on atomic radii for the first 20 elements in a periodic table resource or chemistry textbook. Atomic radii generally decrease across a period from left to right and increase down a group from top to bottom.


Are there any trends to the periodic table?

Atomic Radii,Ionic Radii, First Ionization Energy,Second and Higher Ionization Energies, Electron Affinity.


How do atomic radii change from left to right across a horizontal row of the periodic table and what is the main reason?

Atomic radii decreases on moving from left to right as the effective nuclear charge increases.


How does atomic radii increase or decrease in the table?

Atomic radii generally increase from top to bottom within a group (with more electron shells) and decrease from left to right across a period (due to increasing nuclear charge). This trend is influenced by the balance between the increasing positive nuclear charge and the increasing number of electron shells, which can shield the outer electrons from the nucleus.
