Among `Cu, Ag, Zn and Cd` which one is the biggest atom? why? 

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

At the end of any series atomic radius increases. Thus in between Cu and Zn, Zn is W bigger atom in between Ag and Cd, Cd is the bigger atom.
In a group from 3d- element to 4d- element atomic radius increase. Thus in between Zn and Cd, Cd is the bigger atom. So, among Cu, Ag, Zn and Cd, Cd is the biggest atom.
