a covalent bond and an ionic bond. An ionic bond if formed from the transfer of electrons from the outer shell of atoms. ... An example of this is NaCl, where the sodium atom becomes Na+ due to the loss of electrons, and the chlorine atom becomes the negatively charged chloride (Cl-).
Yes, the atomic radius increases as you move down a group of elements.
this is true
going down leads to valence electrons that are further away from nucleus -> less electrostatic attraction -> less pull towards nuc. -> greater radius/volume taken
I want to say addition. But I have a tendency to be wrong
