Chemistry

Atomic radius defines the size of an atom.  

Explanation:

Atomic radius is defined as “one-half the distance between the nuclei of two identical atoms that are bonded together.” If ‘r’ is the atomic radius and ‘d’ the distance in between nuclei of two atoms that are identical and bonded, then r = d/2.

The units used to express atomic radius are picometer, nanometer, and Angstroms.

In the periodic table, the atomic radius of elements decreases with elements across a <em>period</em> (left-right) and increases with elements down a group.

Answer:

Group 1 (or IA)

Explanation:

If element X is a halogen, then it belongs to the group 17 (or VIIA, under a different notation).

For each extra unit of atomic number, the group number increases by 1. That means that the X+1 element would belong to the group 18 (or VIIIA). <em>The X+2 element would thus belong in the group 1 </em>(or IA) one period higher (higher as in numeric value, not as in position in the periodic table).
