Question

Why Noble gases have bigger atomic size than other elements in a period?

Open in App
Solution

Generally atomic size decreases while moving from left to right in the periodic table. But in the case of noble gases, they have comparatively higher atomic size than corresponding halogens because of the reason that van der waal’s radii (present in noble gases) is much larger than ionic and covalent radii (present in other elements).
