Solution
Atomic size increases down the group
- The atomic numbers of the elements increase as we go down the group. Thus, the elements placed lower have more electrons.
- To accommodate these electrons new shells are added to the atom.
- These new shells take the outermost electrons farther from the nucleus causing atomic size (radius) to increase as we go down the group.
