The atomic radius of an element is the distance from its nucleus to its outer electron shell.

Atomic Radius

Concept #1: Atomic Radius

Concept #2: Atomic Radius Chart

Moving towards the top right corner of the Periodic Table causes the atomic radii to decrease.

Example #1: Which one of the following atoms has the largest atomic radius?

Practice: Which alkaline earth metal has the smallest atomic radius? 

Practice: Which alkaline earth metal has the largest atomic radius?

Practice: Arrange the following atoms in order of decreasing atomic radius: Sr, Se, Ne, Ga
