Work Step by Step

Atomic Radius Comparison a. Nitrogen (N) vs Arsenic (As) Trend: Atomic radius increases down a group. Nitrogen is in period 2, arsenic in period 4. Larger radius: Arsenic (As) b. Silicon (Si) vs Sulfur (S) Trend: Atomic radius decreases across a period (left to right). Both are in period 3, but silicon is to the left of sulfur. Larger radius: Silicon (Si) c. Fluorine (F) vs Phosphorus (P) Fluorine is in period 2, phosphorus in period 3. Trend: Atomic radius increases down a group. Larger radius: Phosphorus (P)
