Going across a row in the peiodic table, the atoms have more protons and electrons causing a stronger attractive force, pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus, making the atomic radius decrease.
As a new shell is added ( next row down) the atomic radius increases
The atomic number increases one-by-one stepping to the right (within a specific period) in the periodic table.
sticking to increasing at no within group: more soft
The atomic radius increases from top to bottom within a group.
Going down and to the left on the periodic table, atomic radius increases. Therefore, the smallest atomic radius is that of Helium (He), and the largest is that of Francium (Fr). Coincidentally, these are also the most and least reactive elements.
As you move from top to bottom within a group in the periodic table, the atomic number increases sequentially. This is because each element has a unique number of protons in its nucleus, which defines its atomic number. Consequently, as you go down a group, each subsequent element has one more proton than the element above it, leading to a higher atomic number. Additionally, this increase in atomic number is associated with an increase in electron shells, resulting in larger atomic size.
Ionization energy generally decreases as atomic number increases within a group. This is because the distance between the outermost electron and the nucleus increases, resulting in weaker attraction and lower energy required to remove the electron.
The process that results in the increase of atomic number is nuclear fusion. This occurs when two atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, leading to an increase in atomic number. Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the sun and other stars.
As the atomic number increases within a period (row) on the periodic table, the covalent radius generally decreases due to increasing nuclear charge pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus. Within a group (column), as the atomic number increases, the covalent radius tends to increase since new electron shells are being added, leading to a larger atomic size.
The Atomic Mass usually increases, but there are a few exceptions, such as tellurium to iodine.
Increase in positive charge draws electrons closer to the nucleus. Increase in the number of occupied orbitals shields electrons in the highest occupied energy level from the attraction of proteins in the nucleus.
The atomic number increases one-by-one stepping to the right (within a specific period) in the periodic table.
As the atomic number increases, the number of protons in the nucleus increases or the effective nuclear charge of the nucleus increases. As a result the force exerted by the nucleus on the valence electrons is more or the size of the atom is small.
sticking to increasing at no within group: more soft
An increase in atomic number within a specific period corresponds to an increase in the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. This leads to a higher positive charge, causing the outer electrons to be more strongly attracted to the nucleus. As a result, the atomic size tends to decrease across a period as atomic number increases.
The atomic radius increases from top to bottom within a group.
Going down and to the left on the periodic table, atomic radius increases. Therefore, the smallest atomic radius is that of Helium (He), and the largest is that of Francium (Fr). Coincidentally, these are also the most and least reactive elements.
An atom's atomic number is the number of protons within the single atom of an element
