From left to right across the periodic table, atomic radii tends to decrease. This is best explained by what? a) the decrease in the number of electrons from one element to another. b) the inverse relationship between atomic number and atomic radii. c) the smaller difference in energy between principal quantum numbers. d) the increasing positive charge of the nucleus.
Atomic Structure
The basic structure of an atom is defined as the component-level of atomic structure of an atom. Precisely speaking an atom consists of three major subatomic particles which are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Many theories have been stated for explaining the structure of an atom.
Shape of the D Orbital
Shapes of orbitals are an approximate representation of boundaries in space for finding electrons occupied in that respective orbital. D orbitals are known to have a clover leaf shape or dumbbell inside where electrons can be found.
From left to right across the periodic table, atomic radii tends to decrease. This is best explained by what?
