Document Summary

Both increase across and down the periodic table. Each group in the periodic table show similarities in reactivity because they have the same general configurations. The size of an atom is determined by the electron that is farthest from the nucleus. You must know the largest shell, but not necessarily the highest energy electron. You must understand the attractive force pulling the electron to the nucleus (zeff) As you go down a family of elements (like from li, to na, to k, to rb) the atomic radii increases. The atoms lower on the periodic table have more mass and are overall larger. Atoms lower on the periodic table are larger in size due to electron cloud in larger electron shells. As you go across a period, the atomic radii decreases. The nuclear charge increase so the size of the atom must decrease. Also the atoms on the right have more protons to attract the electron within the shell (zeff )
