The atomic radius increases as we go down a group/family on a periodic table.

Explanation:

"Atomic radius" is defined as the "one-half of the distance" between the "nuclei of two atoms". While moving down the group in a periodic table there is an "increase in quantum number n" which allows the valence electrons to occupy on higher levels. This shows that the valence electrons move away from the nucleus, which makes them to be loosely held. Thus, atomic radius is large.

Similarly while moving across the periodic table from "left to right" the atomic radius gradually decreases.

The answer is:

The new temperature will be equal to 4 K.

$T_{2}=4K$

We are given the volume, the first temperature and the new volume after the gas is compressed. To calculate the new temperature after the gas was compressed, we need to use Charles's Law.

Charles's Law establishes a relationship between the volume and the temperature at a gas while its pressure is constant.

Now, to calculate the new temperature we need to assume that the pressure is kept constant, otherwise, the problem would not have a solution.

From Charle's Law, we have:

$\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}$
