Which element's atomic radius changes the most in size when it becomes ionized? A. Chlorine B. Sodium C. Lithium D. Fluorine

@tinybookworm can you help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The radius of metals after being ionized changes more than the radius of non-metals.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So A and D are eliminated

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right. In the same group, the radius of elements will change more from top to bottom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes!!! :)))) Thank you!
