Answer:

Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and second largest moon of solar system after Ganymede ( moon of Jupiter). Titan is even bigger than planet Mercury.

Scientists are interested in studying it because Titan holds the possibility of life on it.

Though, it does not have water but there is possible pre-biotic environment and may be biotic environment in the sub surface. The atmosphere of titan is mainly composed of nitrogen and is very dense with traces o hydrocarbons. The surface of titan is liquid hydrocarbons lakes. It has weather pattern similar to Earth's. Also, it has methane cycle just like water cycle on Earth.

Which is the largest atomic radius
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

₁₁A

Explanation:

Atomic radius

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table 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.

So in given elements consider A₁₁, B₁₂, C₁₃ ans D₁₇ as sodium, magnesium, aluminium and chlorine. This is the third period and as we move form sodium to chlorine atomic radius decreases. That's why sodium has greater size.

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased
