Consider the third period of the periodic table. Which element has the smallest atomic radius?

Physics

Anettt [7]4 years ago
3 0
According to periodic trends in the periodic table, the atomic radius decreases from left to right. 

In period three, the element with the smallest atomic radius would be the element in the rightmost area. Protons increase as it goes to the right, which would mean they pull in electrons closer which decreases the size. 

So in period 3, the element with the smallest atomic radius is Argon (Ar).

Explanation:

Question 1

1.The wires are made of conducting materials e.g copper

2. A light bulb is made of filament material e.g tungsten with gases enclosed in a glass material

3.The lens is made of transparent glass material

4 The reflector is made of plastic with silver lining

5. The exterior casing of most flash lights are made of plastic

Question 2.

1.Copper is used to conduct electric current from the battery to the bulb

2.The tungsten filament ignite the gases and causes it to glow

3. The lens covers the lamp on your flashlight so that the glass on the lamp

/bulbs does not get broken.
