Which atom or ion is the largest? A. K B. K+ C. Ca D. Ca2+ E. Li
1 answer:
Answer:
A. K
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember the trends in the Periodic Table:
- Atomic radii <em>decrease</em> from left to right across a Period.
- Atomic radii <em>increase</em> from top to bottom in a Group.
- Ionic radii of metal cations are <em>smaller</em> than those of their atoms.
Thus, the largest atoms are in the lower left corner of the Periodic Table.
The diagram below shows that K is closest to the lower left, so it is the largest atom. It is also larger than any of the cations.

Explanation:
According to IUPAC rules, the name of a compound is:
Prefix+root word+suffix
1) Select the longest carbon chain and it gives the root word.
2) The substituents give the prefix.
3) The functional group gives the secondary suffix and the type of carbon chain gives the primary suffix.
The structure of the given compounds are shown below:
