Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Graph between effective nuclear charge and atomic radius versus
Concept Introduction:
Atomic radius is the distance between the atomic nucleus and outermost shell having electrons of an atom. From the atomic radius, the size of atoms can be visualized
Along the period, the valence electron is added to the same shell and thus attraction by the nucleus gets stronger. Therefore, atomic radii reduces from left to right in the periodic table
Effective nuclear charge
Across the period, effective nuclear charge increases from left to right. Down the group, effective nuclear charge decreases from top to bottom.
