20.

Coulombic attraction affects the atomic radius, especially when moving across the periodic table. Which of the following answers explains why this happens?

a)

There are more protons, so the attraction between opposite charges is stronger.

b)

There are more electrons, so the attraction between opposite charges is stronger.

c)

There are more neutrons, so the attraction between opposite charges is stronger.

d)

Coulombic attraction does not depend on subatomic particles.
