Write an explanation.
Atomic radius
Advertisements
उत्तर
Atomic radius is the distance from an atom’s nucleus to its outermost electron shell and is used to represent the size of an atom; it is usually given in picometres. Because electrons form a diffuse cloud, atomic radius is an approximate measure rather than a fixed boundary. Across a period the atomic radius decreases as increasing nuclear charge pulls the same-shell electrons closer, while down a group the radius increases because each successive element has an extra electron shell.
