Chemistry

Answer:

It decreases

Explanation:

As one moves from left to right on the periodic table, the radius of atoms reduces due to the nuclear pull.

  • The size of an atom estimated by the atomic radius is taken as half of the internuclear distance between the two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements.
  • Across a period, atomic radius decreases progressively from left to right.
  • This is due to the increasing nuclear charge without attendant increase in the number of electronic shell.

Mila [183]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Metals are the species which contain more number of electrons.

When a specie loses electrons then it acquires a positive charge. Whereas when an atom gains electrons then it acquires a negative charge.

Thus, as metals have more number of electrons, therefore, in order to gain stability metals readily lose electrons.

Hence, metals naturally form positive ions, by losing electrons to empty the valence shell.
