How does atomic radius change from top to bottom in a group in the periodic table?

The atomic radius increases as you would go down a particular group on the periodic table of elements. This is because along with a greater number of protons, there would also be electrons as well, and thus the need of electron shells surrounding the atom would also be required, to compensate for the more electrons, as according to the bohr model, each shell contains 8 electrons in its electron shell. Thus the distance from the nucleus to the outermost shell increases, the atomic radius.

Answer: Atomic radii increases from top to bottom in a group.

Explanation:

Atomic radius of an atom is defined as the total distance from the nucleus to the outermost orbital of electron.

As moving from top to bottom, there is an addition of shell around the nucleus and the outermost orbital gets far away from the nucleus and hence, the distance between the nucleus and outermost orbital increases.

This in turn increases the atomic radii of the element from moving top to bottom in a group.

juin [17]
The biological compounds that are nonpolar and insoluble in water are lipids. It is a group of molecules that are naturally occurring which includes sterols, waxes, fats, fat-soluble vitamins and the like. These molecules are nonpolar molecules so basically the cannot be dissolved in a polar solvent like water.

koban [17]

Answer:

it is 50%

Explanation:

62.9x50=3145

64.9x50=3245

3245+3145=6390

6390/100=63.9

Which of the following statements is not true of the process of nuclear fission? A.It is the process used in most nuclear power
Nady [450]
The statement in option B is not correct. B is the correct answer. This is because nuclear fission usually occur in large unstable isotopes, which are bombarded with high speed particles like neutrons, which make them to split into smaller particles. The statement in option A, C and D are true about nuclear fission.
