Question
Why is the size of neon greater than fluorine?
Advertisements
Solution
The size of Neon is bigger compared to fluorine because the outer shell of neon is complete (octet). As a result, the effect of nuclear pull over the valence shell electrons cannot be seen. Hence the size of Neon is greater than fluorine.
