The Size of Atoms: Metallic Radii ... The covalent radii of the main group elements are given in the figure below. These data confirm the trends observed for metallic radii. Atoms become larger as we go down a column of the periodic table, and they becomes smaller as we go across a row of the table.

Atomic radius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To a first approximation, atoms generally behave like minute spherical objects. The atomic radius of a chemical element is a measure of the size of its atoms, usually the distance from the nucleus t...

The radii of atoms decrease and increase in a periodically. Below is a diagram showing the relative size of atoms. the atoms sizes are in picometers (pm = 10-12 m). ... Thus due to the increasing nuclear charge (pulling electrons closer to the nucleus) the radii of the atoms decrease left to right.

RADII OF IONS ... The periodic table allows you to predict the relative size of the Atom. As you go down on the period new main energy levels is added. This will increase the size of the atom. The atoms generally decrease in size from left to right across a period.

The left hand diagram shows bonded atoms. The atoms are pulled closely together and so the measured radius is less than ... The following diagram uses metallic radii for metallic elements, covalent radii for elements that form covalent bonds, and van der Waals radii for those (like the noble gases) which don't form bonds.
