Question

What element in the second period has the largest atomic radius?

Answer 1

Answer:

Na is the element from the second period that has the largest atomic radius

Explanation:

The atomic radius is a chemist property from the periodic table. It is decreased when we move in a period from the periodic, so the element in the second period that has the largest radius is Na, and the shortest, the Ar

The atomic radius indicates the distance between the nucleus and the outermost valence layer. In the periods it decreases with increasing Atomic Number, to the right, due to the attraction that the nucleus exerts on the electrons of the outermost orbitals, thus decreasing the core-electron distance.
