Which of the following elements is the largest?
a
barium
b
titanium
c
rubidium
d
sodium
As you move down a family (group) of the periodic table the size of atoms increases from period 2 to period 3 by about 30-40 pm. For example, the radius of B is 84 pm and the radius of Al is 121 pm. However, as you move from aluminum (radius of 121 pm) to gallium (radius of 122 pm) the radius only increases by 1 pm. Which of the following explains this small increase in radius from Al to Ga?
Select one:
a. the scandide contraction
b. the lanthanide contraction
c. the mercurate elongation
d. the zincate elongation
e. Aluminum is just larger than you might expect.
Four main-group elements a, b, c and d are highlighted in the outline of the Periodic Table below:
b
‒‒‒
a
List these elements below in order of decreasing atomic radius. For example, if an atom of a is the biggest, and b the next biggest, then your list should start
a, b,
X
с
Important: don't try to figure out exactly which elements are marked, and then use your knowledge of the properties of each specific element. You don't need
to. You will also be marked wrong for any answer, correct or not, that can't be determined from only the rough location of each marked element in the Periodic
Table.

- The periodic table is the most important organizing principle in chemistry. There is a regular progression in the periodic table that reflects a similar regularity in the structures and properties of the different elements. If you know the properties of any one element in a group, you can make a good guess at the properties of every other element in the same group and even the elements in neighboring groups. Familiarizing yourself with the structure and arrangement of the periodic table early on will help you later on in chemistry.
