Atomic radius is the measure of the size of an atom; the mean distance from the nucleus to the boundary of the surrounding electron cloud. Radius is dependent on the type of bond present, if there is one. Effective nuclear charge changes among individual elements this affects the attraction of the electrons in the valence shell.

Defined as the measure of the size of an atom; the mean distance from the nucleus to the boundary of the surrounding electron cloud The radius is dependent on the type of bond present, if there is one, whether that be covalent, ionic, metallic, or Van der Waals these bonds affect how far our the valence electron shell extends Atomic radius is variable due to the fact that effective nuclear charge changes among individual elements this affects the attraction of the electrons in the valence shell. Thus the effective nuclear charge determines how "tightly packed" the valence electron cloud is. The Property of Atomic Radius The atomic radius increases as the atomic number increases, moving down a column. What is the trend as you go down a column? Group 13 Group 14 Group 15
Smaller Small Big Bigger Moving down the group of elements, the atoms increase in mass. They have more protons and also more electrons. The radius increases not only because there is more mass to the atom, but also because there are more electrons that will be undergoing electron-electron repulsion. The radius is determined by the valence electrons and the valence electrons will be on higher shell levels as we go down a group, meaning that a greater amount of electrons will consequently be below the valence electrons, shielding them from the nucleus and at the same time causing the valence electrons to be pushed out to further reaches of the atom, thus extending the radius. Why do atomic radii increase as you go down a group of elements? What is the trend as you go across a row? Not including the noble gases, atomic radii get smaller as you move across a period. Why do atomic radii decrease as you go across a period? As you go across a period, the number of protons in the nucleus increases. This causes the electrons to experience a greater effective nuclear charge, which pulls the electrons in more tightly, thus causing the radius to decrease. While electrons are being added as you move across a period, they are all in the same shell at about the same distance from the nucleus, so the shielding effect does not affect the radius size as you go across a period. What are the units used to measure atomic radius? Angstroms (): This the most common unit used. Equivalent to 1.0 x 10^-10 meters. Nanometer (nm): Equivalent to 1.0 x 10^-9 meters. Picometer (pm): Equivalent to 1.0 x 10^-12 meters. How is atomic radius measured? The radius of an atom is dependent on the distance from the nucleus to the outermost boundary of its probability cloud. Therefore, the atomic radius of an atom is not a fixed amount. The only way to determine the radius is to find the distance between the nuclei of two bonded similar atoms and dividing the distance by 2. Exceptions to This Trend Transition metals Across a period: decreases initially from left to right, changes very little in the middle, and ends with a small increase ub suze at end of row Down a column: maintains pattern of increasing uniformly Rationale for irregularity electron-electron repulsion cancels this decrease out halfway through the period the 'additional' electron for each successive element enters the the inner 3d sub shell where it provides a more effective shield between the nucleus and the outer 4s sub shell. although each successive nucleus has one more proton, the extra positive charge is partly shielded by the extra electron in an underlying 3d sub shell; this is why halfway through, we see an increase in radii Questions???
