Atomic radius increases down a group on the Periodic Table because with each additional period an energy level is added.

Atomic radius in group 4:- titanium=140 pm- zirconium=155 pm- hafnium=155 pm


How does the size of elements vary down the group in the periodic table?

Atomic size increases down the group. The number of shells increases causing more 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.


How do the sizes of atoms vary within a group (family)and explain why?

The atomic radius increase down in a group; the cause is the lower attraction from the nucleus atoms with increased bigger atomic mass.


How does the atomic radius vary in a period?

Atomic radius decreases across a period from left to right, except for the noble gases.


What is the distance from the center of the nucleus of an atom to its outermost electron?

for hydrogen it is about 37 pico-meters. larger atoms (larger than H or He) have a second, or even 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 orbitals of electrons. Francium, #87 has an atomic radius of 270 p-m. Much bigger, but way tiny compared to you.


How does the ionization energy vary with atomic number within the group?

Ionization energy generally decreases as you move down a group in the periodic table. This is because as you move down a group, the outermost electrons are farther from the nucleus, resulting in weaker attraction and easier removal of electrons.


Is the two atoms have same atomic radius?

Not necessarily. The atomic radius of an element is determined by the size of the atom's electron cloud. While atoms of the same element would typically have the same atomic radius, atoms of different elements can vary in size due to differences in their electron configurations and the number of protons in their nuclei.


How do the ionic radii vary within a group of metals?

In a group of metals, ionic radii tend to increase as you move down the group. This is because the outermost electron shell becomes farther from the nucleus as you move down the group, leading to larger atomic sizes and therefore larger ionic radii.


How does the valency vary on moving down the group?

The valency does not (or tends not to) vary going up and down a group. It varies going across a period.


What is the circumference of an atomic's bomb explosion?

The circumference of an atomic bomb explosion can vary depending on the size and yield of the bomb. In general, the blast radius of a typical atomic bomb explosion can extend several miles from the epicenter.


Will atomic properties vary in a similar way in different periods if so why?

In general, atomic properties do not vary in a similar way in different periods. While the number of electron shells and energy levels increases as you move down a group, the number of protons and electrons also increases as you move across a period, impacting properties such as atomic size, electronegativity, and ionization energy. Therefore, atomic properties can vary significantly across periods due to changes in the number of protons and electrons.
