Question 7
Within a group (vertical column) in the periodic table, atomic size/radius increases from top to bottom. This is because as you go down a group, the number of electron shells increases. Each new shell is further from the nucleus, so the atomic radius gets larger. Across a period (horizontal row) from left to right, atomic size/radius decreases. This is due to the increasing effective nuclear charge (the positive charge felt by the outermost electrons). As you move from left to right across a period, the number of protons in the nucleus increases, pulling the electrons in the same valence shell closer to the nucleus, thus decreasing the atomic radius.
Sodium (Na), aluminum (Al), sulfur (S), and chlorine (Cl) are in the same period (period 3). Across a period, atomic size decreases from left to right. Sodium is the leftmost, then aluminum, then sulfur, then chlorine. So the order from largest to smallest is based on their positions in period 3.
Beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), and strontium (Sr) are in the same group (group 2). Within a group, atomic size increases from top to bottom. Be is at the top, then Mg, then Sr. So the order from largest to smallest is Sr, Mg, Be.

Within groups: atomic size/radius increases from top to bottom (more electron shells). Across periods: atomic size/radius decreases from left to right (increasing effective nuclear charge).
