An atom of which element has the largest atomic radius?

Chemistry

Answer:

Cesium

Explanation:

As you go down a Group in the Periodic Table from top to bottom, the number of energy levels or electron shells increases so the atomic radius of the elements increases.

In general, the atomic radius of elements decreases as you go across a Period from left to right.

This means, we would expect that the last element in group 1 to have the largest atomic radius. This is Francium. But the atom with the largest atomic radius is referred to as Cesium.

Why aren't francium atoms the biggest? The usual periodic trend for atomic size places larger atoms at the left of a row and towards the bottom of a column on the periodic table. It's no surprise that cesium is large. But shouldn't francium, in the next period with an even larger valence shell, be even larger?

The answer is "possibly, but we just don't know yet." Francium isn't easy to study. It's the least stable of the first 103 elements; the most stable Fr isotope has a half-life of just 22 minutes The distance between atoms in metallic francium has not yet been measured.

The element which has the largest known atomic radius is Cesium.

You didn't post the whole question. However the answer would be : Mg, according to former questions in this website.

Hope this helps !

First, please check the missing part in your question in the attachment.
a) So first, the Rank of pressure:
according to this formula PV = nRT and when n = m/Mw
PV = m/Mw * R*T
when we have the same mass m and the same V volume so P will proportional with the mole weight M as when the M is smaller the pressure will be greater 
when Mw of H2(A) = 2 g / Mw of He (B) = 4 g and Mw of CH4(C) = 16 g
∴ Pressure :
 (A) > (B) > (c)

B) The rank of average molecular kinetic energy:
when K = 3/2 KB T
when K is the average kinetic energy per molecule of gas 
and KB is Boltzmann's constant
and T is the temperature (K)
So from this equation, we can know that K only depends on T value, and when we have the T constant here for A, B, and C So the rank of K will be like the following:
∴ A = B = C
C) the rank of diffusion rate after the valve is opened:
according to this formula:
R2/R1 = √M1/M2
from this equation, we can see that diffusion is proportional to the reciprocal of the molecular mass M so,
when Mw H2 (A) = 2 g & Mw He(B) = 4 g & CH4 (C) = 16 g
∴ the rank of diffusion:
A > B > C

D) The rank of the Total kinetic energy of the molecules:
when we have the Mw different so it will make the no.of molecules differs as when the Mw is low the no.of molecules will be hight, and when the average molecular kinetic energy equals. so the total kinetic energy will depend on no. of molecules 
∵ Mw A < Mw B < Mw C 
∴no .of molecules of A > B >C
∴ the rank of total kinetic energy is:
A > B > C

e) the rank of density:

when ρ = m/ v 
and m is the mass & v is the volume and we have both is the same for A, B, and C
so the density also will be the same, ∴ the rank of the density is:
A = B = C

F) the rank of the collision frequency:
as the no.of molecules increase the collision frequency increase and depend also on the velocity and it's here the same.
∴ Collision frequency will only depend on the no.of molecules
we have no.of molecules of A > B > C as Mw A < B < C 
∴the rank of the collision frequency is:
A > B > C

Convert the following into balanced equations:
sesenic [268]

Gallium metal is heated in oxygen gas, it melts and forms solid gallium(III) oxide.

             Ga + O₂⇒   Ga O₂

Balance the atoms with simple - whole coefficients.

4 Ga + 3 O₂   2 Ga₂O₃.

Specify the states of matter.

4 Ga(s)  + 3 O₂ (g) ⇒   2 Ga₂O₃.(s)

Therefore, balanced equation is----- 4 Ga(s)  + 3 O₂ (g)  ⇒ 2 Ga₂O₃.(s)

What is the balanced formula equation?

A balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products. In other words, the mass and the charge are balanced on both sides of the reaction.

Why are equations balanced?

A balanced equation obeys the Law of Conservation of Mass. This is an important guiding principal in science. Finally, a balanced equation lets up predict the amount of reactants needed and the amount of products formed.
