Questions: 1. What Is The General Periodic Trend For Atomic Radius? 2. What Is The General Group Trend For Atomic Radius?

This document discusses atomic radius trends on the periodic table. It includes charts showing how atomic radius generally decreases as atomic number increases across periods and increases as atomic number increases down groups. Questions at the end ask about periodic trends in atomic radius, effective nuclear charge, and why specific atomic radii are what they are.
