Atomic RadiusAtomic Radiusdecrease left to right across a period
– as nuclear charge increases, number of electrons increase; however, the nucleus acts as a unit charge while the electrons act independently, pulling electrons towards the nucleus, decreasing size
HSTMr.Watson
Atomic RadiusAtomic Radiusincrease top to bottom down a group
– each additional electron “shell” shields the outer electrons from the nuclear charge
Zeff = Z - Swhere Zeff => effective nuclear charge
Z => nuclear charge, atomic numberS => shielding constant

lower left corner
