Question
atomic radius increases as you go down the periodic table and to the left
true
false
Brief Explanations
As we move down a group in the periodic table, the number of electron shells increases, leading to an increase in atomic radius. When moving to the left across a period, the effective nuclear charge decreases (since the number of protons increases less rapidly compared to the shielding effect from inner electrons in some cases), and atomic radius increases.
