Key Points: Atomic Size

  • Atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus to the outermost shell of an atom.
  • Across a period, atomic size decreases due to increase in effective nuclear charge.
  • Down a group, atomic size increases due to addition of new shells.
  • Atomic size depends on number of shells and nuclear charge.
  • Cations are smaller than their parent atoms due to loss of electrons.
  • Anions are larger than their parent atoms due to gain of electrons.
  • In isoelectronic species, greater nuclear charge leads to smaller size.
  • Noble gases show larger atomic size due to consideration of van der Waals radius.
