Q
Q: What is the primary factor that determines the atomic radius of an element?
Solution:
The atomic radius increases with the number of electron shells, as each additional shell is further from the nucleus.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that an atom has a nucleus at its center, which contains protons and neutrons.
Step 2: Know that electrons orbit around the nucleus in different layers called shells.
Step 3: Realize that each shell is further away from the nucleus than the previous one.
Step 4: Recognize that as you add more electron shells, the outermost electrons are farther from the nucleus.
Step 5: Conclude that the more electron shells an element has, the larger its atomic radius will be.
