    | • | Think of atom as
    sphere whose radius is 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    |  | determined by the
    location of the e’s 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    |  | furthest from the
    nucleus. 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    | • | So atomic radius
    (size) determined by: 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    | • | 1. Larger value
    of n for atom in a group, the 
 | 
   
    |  | 
   
    |  | larger the atom
    size. Size _________ from 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    |  | top to bottom in
    group.
