Moving to the right in one period produces an increase in the effective nuclear charge that acts on the outer electrons, compressing the atom. Barton Fink is a well crafted picture that showcases great talent on-screen and it is a film that stands out among the Coen Brothers strongest efforts.

Decrease in atomic radius in a period.The increase in radius in elements with high atomic number (passage from potassium to rubidium) is less due to the existence of d and f subshells that shield the nucleus with less effective than the syp, causing the outer electrons to be more attracted to the nucleus. A significant increase in radius is observed when passing from Li to Na and from Na to K. Increasing the value of n shifts the probability density toward higher values of r, giving rise to a larger atom.
In the latter case, the distance must be distributed correctly between the cation (smaller) and the anion (larger). The ionic radius is the distance between the nuclei of two atoms joined by an ionic bond. The covalent radius is defined as half the distance between the nuclei of two identical atoms joined by a single covalent bond. However, we are more interested in knowing the size of the atoms when they are linked, forming covalent or ionic compounds. One possibility is to consider the radius of the sphere that contains a high probability of finding the electron, for example 90$\%$. Since the electron density of an atom never goes to zero it is never difficult to define the size of atoms. Written by: Germán Fernández Category: periodic properties
