4. Predict whether the atomic radii of the first element will be higher or lower than the second element and indicate the reason from the list. Use all that apply if there is more than one correct answer.
I less principle energy levels
II more principle energy levels
III stronger nuclear charge due to more protons
IV weaker nuclear charge due to less protons
Read these like this: Pb is __________ than Sn because __________.
Sb In
Mg Be
Ne He

Answer

  1. Sb is larger than In because II (more principle energy levels).

  2. Mg is larger than Be because II (more principle energy levels).

  3. Ne is smaller than He because III (stronger nuclear charge due to more protons).
