Study Notes
Atomic Radius Trends
- Atomic radius decreases across a period due to increased nuclear charge attracting electrons more strongly.
- Atomic radius increases from top to bottom in a group because of additional principal energy levels.
Comparison of Elements
- Among various elements, Rubidium has the largest atomic radius.
- Iodine is the halogen with the largest atomic radius.
- Fluorine has the smallest atomic radius among the provided options.
- Potassium has a larger atomic radius than Lithium in alkali metals.
- Phosphorus has a smaller atomic radius than Silicon, which is larger due to more principal energy levels.
- Aluminum has a greater atomic radius than Boron.
Periodic Position
- The element with the largest atomic radii in the periodic table is found in the lower left.
- Cesium is identified as the largest atom in the sixth period.
- Sodium has the largest atomic radius among the elements in the third period.
Atomic Radius Measurements
- Atomic radius is defined as half the distance between identical bonded atoms' nuclei.
- The atomic radius of Chlorine is calculated at 99 pm, given an internuclear distance of 198 pm.
Trends in Specific Groups
- Atomic size comparisons reveal that Polonium (Po) has the largest atomic radius among Group 16 elements.
- The order of increasing size of atomic radii for elements follows: Al < Ga < In and Si < Sn < Pb.
General Observations
- Upon moving from Scandium to Chromium, the atomic radius decreases.
- The atomic radius of Silicon is noted to be the smallest and the distance between valence electrons and the nucleus increases down a group.
- The boundary of an electron cloud is not well-defined, hence atomic radius is not a precise measure.
Calculating Atomic Radius
- If the distance between two adjacent copper atoms is 256 pm, the atomic radius is 128 pm.
- Atomic radii are typically measured in picometers (pm), equivalent to 10^-12 meters.
