Why does atomic size tend to decrease with increasing atomic number across a row of the periodic table?

Chemistry
1 answer:
k0ka [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Because of greater nuclear attraction on valance shell.

Explanation:

The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table with increase of atomic number because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases with increase of atomic number in period.

If the temperature we're to go down how would that effect the solubility of each solute
vova2212 [387]

well when there is more kinetic energy in a solution the higher its temperature is going to be so the more the molecules are able to be help together, the lower the temperature the more difficult it would be to break the molecule apart in order to bond with it.
