Periodic Properties. Oraganize form smallest ionic/atomic radius to largest.
« on: October 17, 2009, 08:19:35 PM »
The problem is asking me to organize the following from smallest atomic/ionic radius to largest atomic/ionic radius.
I know that atomic/ionic radius increases at you move diagonally downward to the bottom left of the periodic table. But im just not sure where to put Ar.

Ca+2 <  K+  <  Cl- < Ar

Im not sure where to put the Ar.

Each of these species will have the same number of electrons.  In which species will the nucleus exert the most attractive forces on the electrons?
