which of the following factors contributes to the increase in atomic size within a geoup in the periodic table as the atomic number increases​

Respuesta :

Successive shells of electrons being added

Explanation:

The increase in atomic size within a group on the periodic table as the atomic number increases is a result of the successive shells of electrons being added. The size of an atom is estimated using the atomic radius.

  • Down a group, from top to bottom, atomic radii increases.
  • This due to the successive shells of electrons being added.
  • The shells have been more than compensated for by the size reducing effect of the increased nuclear charged.
  • As with most atoms, the inner electronic shells tends to screen/shield the outermost electrons from experiencing the nuclear attractions.
  • The screening effect tends to reduce the atomic size.
  • Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. For a neutral atom, it is the same as the number of electrons.
  • As the atomic number increases down a group, the number of electrons also increases and the atomic radii expands.
