In: Chemistry, Elements and Compounds [Edit categories]

Relevant answers:

When the atomic number increases what happens to the atomic radius?

The atomic number increases and therefore the atomic radius?
Decrease within the same period, and increase down a group
In a period what happens to the atomic radius as the atomic number increases?
The atomic radius goes down.
What happens to the atomic radius as atomic number goes up?
It goes up and down in a rather complicated pattern. I'm sure you were looking for something simpler, but something simpler would have the disadvantage of being wrong.
How do you get the atomic mass and and atomic number?
it is simple. all you need to do is look in the periodic table the numbers above and under the letter. Atomic number is determined from the number of protons in the nucleus. Atomic mass is determined...
