Size of all element decrease as you move up and to the right in the Periodic Table. It has to do with the fact that there are more protons in the nuclei so the electrons a pulled closer to the nucleus making the atom smaller.

Which atom is larger nitrogen or carbon?

Nitrogen is larger than carbon. Nitrogen has one more electron and proton than carbon, resulting in a larger size due to increased electron-electron repulsion.


Are nitrogen molecules Smaller than butane molecule?

Yes, nitrogen molecules are smaller than butane molecules. Nitrogen molecules consist of two nitrogen atoms, while butane molecules consist of four carbon and ten hydrogen atoms. Carbon atoms are slightly smaller than nitrogen atoms, but four of them are definitely larger than two nitrogen atoms, and of course, there are also the ten hydrogen atoms, and although hydrogen atoms are the smallest type of atom, if you have ten of them it does contribute to the size of the molecule. Further to this, the distance between bonds will be smaller in N2 as this is a triple bond because of 3 shared electrons each, whereas it is single bonds between the carbons, elongating the bonds between carbons


What element is larger than carbon?

All of the elements in Period 2 to the left of C including B, Be and Li are larger than carbon, while those to the right are smaller (N, O, F & Ne). All elements in periods 3 and below are substantially larger than carbon.


Which one is more flamable Carbon or Nitrogen?

Carbon is combustible while nitrogen is not.


Why nitrogen is more electronegative than carbon?

Nitrogen is more electronegative than carbon because it has a greater tendency to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond. This is due to nitrogen's smaller atomic size and higher effective nuclear charge compared to carbon, leading to a stronger pull on shared electrons. Additionally, the presence of an additional electron in the nitrogen atom compared to carbon results in a more stable half-filled p orbital configuration, further enhancing its electronegativity.


Is there more nitrogen or carbon dioxide in earth's atmosphere?

There is much more nitrogen in earth's atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Nitrogen forms about 79%, while carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04%.


Which has higher eleetron affinity between nitrogen and carbon?

Nitrogen has a higher electron affinity than carbon. This is because nitrogen, being in Group 15 of the periodic table, has one additional electron in its p orbital compared to carbon, which is in Group 14. Therefore, nitrogen has a greater tendency to accept an additional electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.


What kind of gas does Venus have?

The planet Venus has nitrogen, carbon dioxide and smaller amounts of other gases. Most of the gas is carbon dioxide.

Does carbon oxygen nitrogen and sodium make up ninety percent of the human body?

Yes, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen make up about 96% of the human body. Sodium is present in smaller amounts in the body, contributing to less than 0.2% of body mass.
