The answer is C: The plum-pudding model
Answer:
The correct options are;
C. The magnitude of attraction from its nucleus
D. The distance between the electrons and its nucleus
Explanation:
The atomic radius reduces, within a given period, as we move from left to right, the number of protons increases alongside the number of electrons and the while the quantum shell to which the extra electrons are added to is the same. Therefore, the radius of the atom is dependent on the magnitude of the attraction from the nucleus
Similarly, as we progress to the next period, with an extra quantum shell, the atomic radius is seen to increase.
Therefore, the atomic radius is determined by the distance between the electrons and its nucleus.
4 is correct for this one
True due to the fact that eight electrons are what applies directly to the octet rule
