What is the smallest element?
ATOM
What is the smallest unit of an element that still can be identifled as a specific element?
The atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains it's characteristics. Sub-atomic particles such as protons, neutrons and electrons form the atom and it is the amount of each of these sub-atomic particles that make the element that element.
What is the smallest unit of matter that retains the identity of the substance?
If that substance is an element, the smallest part is the atom which, if broken down further into atomic particles, loses its identity.
Are there any minerals in an atom?
An atom is the smallest bit of matter that isn't a sub-atomic particle. Minerals are made of atoms.
What element have the smallest atomic radius?
Atomic Radius gets greater down the periodic table and gets smaller to the right in the periodic table. This means, in order of atomic radius, that the five smallest elements are Helium, Neon, Fluorine, Oxygen, and Hydrogen in that order.

What element has the smallest radii?
A hydrogen atom has the smallest radii.
Where are atoms with the largest and smallest atomic radii found?
The atoms with the largest atomic radii are found in the lower right side of the periodic table. Smallest atoms are found in the higher left part of the periodic table. He has the smallest atomic radii.
What is the difference between atomic radii and ionic radii?
Atomic radii refer to the size of an atom, measured as the distance from the center of the nucleus to the outer electron shell. Ionic radii, on the other hand, refer to the size of an ion, which can be larger (anions) or smaller (cations) than the corresponding atom due to the gain or loss of electrons.
What group of elements have members of the smallest atomic radii for a given period?
The group of elements with members of the smallest atomic radii for a given period is the group of noble gases. Noble gases have the smallest atomic radii because they have a completely filled valence shell, which results in strong electron-electron repulsions and a smaller atomic size.
What trend do you note for the atomic radii of period 3?
The size of atom decreasing.
What is the largest and smallest atom on the periodic table?
Smallest atom is hydrogen Largest atom is Francium
Why are the ionic radii of metallic elements smaller than the atomic radii of the same elements?
The ionic radii of metallic elements is smaller than its atomic radii, because the ion has less electrons. This gives it a smaller electron cloud and makes the atom smaller.
The elements with the smallest atomic radii are found in the?
The elements with the smallest atomic radii are found in the top of the P block of the periodic table. Helium (He) has the smallest atomic radius. Francium, on the other side of the periodic table (very bottom of the S block), has the largest atomic radius.
Why do halogens have the smallest atomic radii in their respective periods?
Halogens have the smallest atomic radii in their respective periods because they have the highest effective nuclear charge due to their high electronegativity. This strong pull on the electrons results in a smaller atomic radius compared to other elements in the same period. Additionally, the addition of electrons to the same energy level does not shield the nuclear charge effectively, further decreasing the atomic radius.
Which element has the smallest atom?
hydrogen This is because it has the smallest Relative Atomic Mass =]
In the alkaline-earth group atoms with the smallest radii?
Atoms with the smallest radii in the alkaline-earth group are found at the top of the group, such as beryllium. This is because as you move down the group, additional electron shells are added, increasing the atomic radius.
Why are van der waals radii larger than atomic raddii?
Van der Waals radii are larger than atomic radii because they include the space occupied by the electron clouds around the atom, which are not considered in atomic radii. Van der Waals radii are used to estimate the effective size of atoms when they are close to each other and experience van der Waals forces.
