Question
Arrange these elements in order of increasing atomic size:$\mathrm{Ca}, \mathrm{Rb}, \mathrm{S}, \mathrm{Si}, \mathrm{Ge}, \mathrm{F}$
Step 1
Atomic size increases as we move down a group (vertical column) due to the increasing number of electron shells. Atomic size decreases as we move from left to right across a period (horizontal row) due to the increasing nuclear charge which pulls the electrons Show more…
