Atoms in the periodic table get bigger when going down a column or group. This is because:
The atoms have more mass.
The atoms have more protons.
The atoms have more energy levels.
The atoms have more neutrons.
As you move across the periodic table atoms tend to get smaller because:
the atoms have more mass.
the atoms have more neutrons.
the atoms have more protons.
the atoms have energy levels.
Order the following from smallest to largest atomic radii:
Ra, Be, Ca, Rb, H
Ra, Be, Rb, H, Ca
Rb, H, Ca, Be, Ra
Ra, Rb, Ca, Be, H
H, Be, Ca, Rb, Ra
