Feb 2, 2023 · I think you're confusing a few periodic trends. Atomic radius generally decreases across a row because the effective nuclear charge increases while the maximum distance of …

Why is the atomic radius of Gallium smaller than Aluminum? My textbook explains that it is because gallium has 10 3d-electrons and since d orbital has poor shielding effect -> effective …

Jul 31, 2021 · Magnesium has 3 shells while Lithium has 2 shells. So, the atomic radius of Magnesium should be greater than Lithium. But from online sources, I found that Lithium has a …

Jan 9, 2024 · To answer your question, no, you don’t need to memorize any actual numbers. All you need to know is the trend for atomic radius which says that atomic radius increases as you …

Nov 27, 2013 · Atomic radius of noble gases So I've seen a lot of conflicting information on this. There is a trend on the periodic table that atomic radius decreases from left to right. However, …

Jul 11, 2012 · Simply but thoroughly explain relationship between atomic radius and effective nuclear charge? I understand the basic concept for both of these periodic trends, but I have a …

Nov 4, 2019 · Atomic radius decreases across a period because valence electrons are being added to the same energy level at the same time the nucleus is increasing in protons.

Typically, because of the difficulty to isolate atoms in order to measure their radii separately, atomic radius is measured in a chemically bonded state; however theoretical calculations are …

Aug 16, 2021 · Nah man; oxygen has a smaller atomic radius. In addition to the added repulsion from the e- added in the 2p orbital, there is ALSO an additional proton in the nucleus. In general, …

Jul 23, 2022 · The ionic radius is determined differently than the Van der Waals radius. The VdW radius is the point at which attractive forces due to instantaneous dipoles (due to electronic …
