When the element moves from group 18 to group 1, it moves to a new period. Each period has a one more electron shell than the previous. The group 1 element has one more electron shell than the group 18 element; hence, it's atomic radius is greater.

Which element is placed in the same period as ruthenium but has higher atomic number than it?

The element that is placed in the same period as ruthenium (which is in period 5) but has a higher atomic number is silver (Ag), with an atomic number of 47. Ruthenium has an atomic number of 44. Both elements are transition metals found in the d-block of the periodic table.

Consider the group 1A element sodium (atomic number 11) the group 3A element aluminum (atomic number 13) and the group 7A element chlorine (atomic number 17). These elements are in period 3. How are?

This is a consequence of the law of periodicity of chemical elements.


What does the period number on a periodic table represent?

the Atomic number on Periodic Table is the identity of an element in the table , it gives the indications about Group, period and Block of elements it also predicts the chemical and physical properties of the element.


Which element in the 2 period has the greatest atomic radius?

Neon (Ne) in the second period on the periodic table of the elements has the highest atomic number in that period of 10.


Which position in the periodic table contains the element with the highest atomic number?

In a given period, group 18 elements will have the highest atomic number.


What elements have the smallest atomic radius in group 1?

The element in group 1 with the smallest atomic radius is lithium, due to its higher nuclear charge compared to the other elements in the group (such as sodium and potassium). This higher nuclear charge attracts the electrons more strongly, leading to a smaller atomic radius.


What do notice on the atomic number of elements in a row as one goes to the right of the table?

The atomic number increases from left to right across a period (row). This is because the atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of each element. No two elements have the same atomic number. It is the protons that define an element.


What does a period represent on the period table?

the Atomic number on Periodic Table is the identity of an element in the table , it gives the indications about Group, period and Block of elements it also predicts the chemical and physical properties of the element.


what element has largest atomic radius in 3rd period elements?

In the third period of the periodic table, sodium (Na) has the largest atomic radius. As you move from left to right across a period, the atomic radius decreases due to increasing nuclear charge, which pulls electrons closer to the nucleus. Sodium, being the first element in the period, has the least effective nuclear charge acting on its outer electrons, resulting in a larger atomic radius compared to the other elements in the third period.


Are elements in a period arranged alphabetically?

NO!!! Elements in a Period are arranged by Atomic No. / Proton No. If we take PERIOD 1. . the two elements are Hydrogen and Helium, in that order. H**ydrogen , Hel**ium are NOT in alphabetical order.


What is the largest element of Period 3 on the Periodic table?

Sodium has the largest atomic size in the third period.
