noble gasses have a full outer shell of 8 electrons which makes them fairly stable as they have no more room in that shell for another electron nor do they have the need to share there electrons with another element to gain a full outer shell

What happens to the atomic radius when you go from left to right on the periodic table of elements?

The atomic radius decrease, with several exceptions in periods 6 and 5.


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.


Does a metal have a greater atomic radius or ionic radius?

A metal typically has a greater atomic radius than its ionic radius. When a metal loses electrons to become a cation, the outer electrons are removed, leading to a decrease in the ionic radius compared to the neutral atom's atomic radius.


WHAT BEST STATES THE TREND IN ATOMIC RADIUS ACROSS THE PERIODIC TABLE?

As you move across the periodic table from left to right (across a period), the atomic radius of the elements tends to decrease.


Which of the following decrease as you go from left to right on the periodic table?

The atomic radius decreases as you go from left to right. or atomic radius cation radius && anion radius -barbie=]


How does the atomic radius change from the left to the right horizontal row in the periodic table?

The atomic radius decreases from left to right across a period in the periodic table. This is due to the increasing number of protons in the nucleus, which pulls the electrons closer to the nucleus, resulting in a smaller atomic radius.


The atomic number increases and therefore the atomic radius as you move across the table from left to right.?

decreases


What factors contribute to the decrease in atomic radius as you move across a period on the periodic table?

The decrease in atomic radius as you move across a period on the periodic table is primarily due to increasing nuclear charge and the attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons. This stronger attraction pulls the electrons closer to the nucleus, resulting in a smaller atomic radius.


When metals become ions what happens to their atomic radius?

Metals generally become cations and thus lose electrons and their atomic radius shrinks. This is because the metals will lose a shell of electrons and the nucleus' pull on the electrons will become more concentrated, pulling them closer.


What happens to the atomic radius as the atomic number increases?

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


What trends in size are found among elements in the same period?

The atomic radius decrease from left to right.


Does the atomic radius decrease as you move up a group and across a period from left to right on the periodic table?

the atomic radius decreses from left to right in periodic table due to increase in the number of succesive element the electrons of the outermost shell are more attracted towards nucleus and the atomic radius or atomic size decreases.
