Atomic Radius

Rucete ✏ Chemistry In a Nutshell



Atomic Radius | In a nutshell

1 The distance from the atomic nucleus to the outermost stable electron orbital of the atom.


2 It is half the distance between the atomic nucleus of an element combined by a single convert bond or metallic crystal.


3 Influencing factor of atomic radius
 1. The principal quantum number
 2. The amount of positive charge in the nucleus


4 Atomic radius increases as goes down a group.


5 Atomic radius decreases across a period.


6 In the case of a transfer metal element, the degree to which the atomic radius becomes smaller is relatively low when the atomic number increases at a their period.
(To find out why, let's first look at the obital energy level of a multi-electron atom.

1s<2s<2p<3s<3p<4s<3d<4p...

As the atomic number increases, the electrons are filled according to the principle of stacking from the obital with a low energy level.

This causes electrons to be filled in the M shell before the 4 period, not in the outermost shell, but because of differences in energy levels.)
