Which has the largest atomic radius magnesium silicon sulfur or sodium the smallest

Chemistry

Therefore the largest atoms are on the left and the smallest on the right. So sodium (Na) has the largest atomic radius, as the valence electrons are the least attracted to the nucleus

Answer:

Sodium (largest) and Sulfur (smallest)

Explanation:

Atomic radius of an element/atom is the distance between the central nucleus of the element/atom and the outermost shell of electrons. This indicates that the higher the number of shells, the higher the atomic radius, hence atomic radius increases down the group.

But the question focuses on elements in the same period. Magnesium (Mg), Silicon (Si), Sulfur (S) and Sodium (Na) are all found in period 3 on the periodic table. Elements having the same number of electron shells are found in the same period but the number of valence electrons plays a crucial role in atomic radius across a period - this is because the outermost shell is easily attracted to the central nucelus when there are fewer number of valence electrons on it, hence atomic radius decreases across the period as there is an increase in valence electrons across the period.

The trend below shows increasing pattern of atomic radius of the options provided

S< Si< Mg< Na

The trend shows that sulfur (S) has the smallest while sodium (Na) has the largest atomic radius.

Why do plants need sunlight for photosynthesis?
igomit [66]

Explanation: Plants using photosynthesis will take in carbon dioxide from the air, bring up water from the roots, and use sunlight as the energetic source to create sugar from water and carbon dioxide. Plants contain a molecule called chlorophyll, and the chlorophyll is what absorbs the sunlight
