Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which element has a larger atomic radius in the pairs given, we can analyze the periodic trends in atomic size. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Atomic Radius Trends**: - Atomic radius generally increases as you move down a group in the periodic table because additional electron shells are added. - Atomic radius generally decreases as you move across a period from left to right due to increasing nuclear charge (more protons) which pulls the electrons closer to the nucleus. ...
