Question

Using your Periodic Table, which of the following elements below has the largest atomic radius? A.) Aluminum B.) Sodium C.) Sulfur, D.) Fluorine

Answer 1

Answer:

sodium

Explanation:

it is highly reactive metal.

Answer 2

Answer:

aluminium

Explanation:

In a period , as we go from left to right in a periodic table, atomic number increases .

Differentiating electrons enters into same shell hence the effective nuclear charge decreases .

Hence atomic radius decreases along period.

Conculsion:

Aluminium is the element which has greater atomic radius and sulphur has smaller atomic radius.
