Interpretation: From the given pairs, the pair whose atomic size cannot be compared using the periodic table should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Periodic Table: The available chemical elements are arranged considering their
In periodic table the horizontal rows are called periods and the vertical column are called group.
There are seven periods and 18 groups present in the table and some of those groups are given special name as follows,
Atomic Number: Atomic number of the element is equal to the number of protons present in the nucleus of the element which is denoted by symbol Z. The superscript presents on the left side of the
Atomic radius: Atomic radius is the distance between the atomic nucleus and outermost electron of an atom. From the atomic radius, the size of atoms can be visualized. But there is no specific distance from nucleus to electron due to electron cloud around the atom does not have well-defined boundary.
The atomic radius follows the specific trend in the periodic table that it gets decreases as we go from left to right of the period due to increased nuclear charge the electrons gets added to the same sub-shell strongly binds resulting to decrease in the size.
It increases as we move from top to bottom of the table due to addition of shell in the element.
To determine: The pair whose atomic size of the elements cannot be compared using the table.

- Indicate whether or not each of the following pairs of atoms/ions are isoelectronic. a. K+ and Ar b. Al3+ and Cl c. S and Cl d. Na+ and Mg2+arrow_forwardGive the symbol of the element that has the least metallic character in Group 8A (18). Give the symbol of the element that has the lowest ionization energy in Group 7A (17). Give the symbol of the element that has the highest ionization energy in Group 5A (15). Give the symbol of the element that has the largest atomic size in Period 1.arrow_forwardOg is the noble gas after Rn. To go from [Rn] to [Og], you must fill four subshells (s, p, d, and f) with a total of 32 electrons. Thus, the atomic numbers of sixth and seventh period elements of the same group differ by 32. To go from [Og] to the next noble gas, however, you would theoretically fill five subshells (s, p, d, f, and g). How many electrons are needed to fill all five subshells? number of electrons: Element 107 in the periodic table is Bh. Determine the atomic number of the element just below Bh in the periodic table. atomic number:arrow_forward

Group 2 (or 2A) elements form +1 charge cations. When an atoms loses electrons to become an ion, its radius decreases. Metals gain electrons to form negative ions. Atoms with a high ionization energy tend to lose electrons easily. Some non-metals can form ions with variable charges.arrow_forwardSymbol of the element 4p^1arrow_forward
