Periodic Trends

Atomic Radius is...

• the relative size of the atom's nucleus
• the relative size of the atom's electron cloud
• the energy required to shield the outer electrons from the nucleus
• a measure of the ability of an atom to attract electrons

As you move down the periodic table atoms get bigger.  This is because ____________.

• The atoms have more mass.
• The atoms have more protons.
• The atoms have more energy levels
• The atoms have more nuetrons
