Question 9

The modern periodic table organizes elements based on increasing atomic number, displaying clear periodic trends in properties. Considering the general trends for atomic radius and electronegativity, which of the following accurately identifies the element expected to have the largest atomic radius and the element expected to have the highest electronegativity among all stable elements?

Accepted Answer

B. Largest Atomic Radius: Francium (Fr); Highest Electronegativity: Fluorine (F). — Atomic radius generally increases down a group and decreases across a period, making Francium (Fr), located at the bottom-left, the element with the largest atomic radius. Electronegativity generally increases across a period and decreases down a group, with Fluorine (F), found at the top-right (excluding noble gases which typically do not have defined electronegativity values), having the highest electronegativity. Options A, C, and D incorrectly identify elements for these extreme properties or misstate the periodic trends.

Answer

A. Largest Atomic Radius: Helium (He); Highest Electronegativity: Francium (Fr).

Answer

C. Largest Atomic Radius: Chlorine (Cl); Highest Electronegativity: Cesium (Cs).

Answer

D. Largest Atomic Radius: Radon (Rn); Highest Electronegativity: Oxygen (O).
