The atomic radii tend to decrease across a period from left to right. The atomic radius usually increases while going down a group.

Due to increase in nuclear charge along a period there is a decrease in atomic radius

Decreases as the force of attraction by nucleus on the valence electrons increases

The atomic radii tend to decrease across a period from left to right. The atomic radius usually increases while going down a group due to the addition of a new energy level (shell). However, diagonally, the number of electrons has a larger effect than the sizeable radius. For example, lithium (145 picometer)...

However, diagonally, the number of electrons has a larger effect than the sizeable radius. For example, lithium (145 picometer) has a smaller atomic radius than magnesium (150 picometer). Atomic radius decreases from left to right across a period, and also increases from top to bottom down a group. read less

Atomic radius decreases in moving from left to right along a period. This is due to an increase in nuclear charge which tends to pull the electrons closer to the nucleus and reduces the size of the atom.

As you move across a period, atomic radius decreases, because, across a period, electrons are added to the same energy level. At the same time, protons are being added to the nucleus. The concentration of more protons in the nucleus creates a "higher effective nuclear charge." In other words, there...

A bag contains 5 white and 3 black balls, and 4 balls are successively drawn out and not replaced. Find the probability that they are alternatively of different colors.
it can be in two ways-( white, black, white., black.) or ( black, white, black, white). in first case, the probability is=(5/8)X(3/7)X(4/6)X(2/5)=1/14. IN SECOND CASE, IT IS=(3/8)X(5/7)X(2/6)X(4/5)=1/14. SO THE PROBABILITY IS=(1/14)+1/14)=1/7

Why sky appears dark instead of blue to an astronaut in space?
The sky appears blue when viewed from Earth because of scattering of light particles I.e blue light gets refracted wherever there is atmosphere. As there is no atmosphere in space, astronauts see the actual colour of sky I.e black.

When a body is said to be at equilibrium state?
A body is said to be in equilibrium if it is at rest or moving with uniform velocity. In other words if the linear and angular acceleration of a body are zero, the body is said to be in equilibrium.
