The atomic number of an element determines the number of protons that are present in that element. The atomic size refers to the distance that the outermost valence electrons are from the nucleus.

What is the effect of an additional electron have on atomic size?
According to me the atomic size of an atom increases or decreses with the change in the number of shells. As atomic size is defined as the distance between the nucleus and valence shell of an atom. So, the addition of an electron does not effect the atomic size. As we can see in the periodic table that while moving along a group the number of electrons increases along with increase in no. of shells, while the atomic size tends to be increase with addition of shells and neglecting the addition of electrons. Same is the case while moving along a period. Atomic size decreases while the attraction between increased nuleus charge increases . Thus the size of the atom decreases.
What happens to the atomic size from the top to the bottom of the periodic table?
The atomic size increase from top to bottom of periodic table. As the number of shells increases from top to bottom, the atomic size increases.
What is the relationship of atomic size and atomic number of elements?
R = r0A1/3 Where R is nuclear radius (I'm assuming this is your chosen measure of size), r0 is the constant 1.05fm and A is the nucleon number, or mass number.
What neutral atoms has the largest atomic size between Li Fl Cl and Mg?
From the given elements, Mg has the largest atomic radius, hence the size.
What is a major significant difference between the sun and Jupiter?
The difference in mass
What is the difference between hypertrophy and hyperlasia?
The difference between hypertrophy and hyperplasia is size. With hypertrophy there is an increase in the size of a body organ. In hyperplasia there is an increase in the number of cells in an organ.

What is the difference between the size in youth and women toms?
The size number in youth is two numbers smaller than the size number in women's. Example: Women's size 7 = Youth size 5.
Do all electrons have the same size?
No they are not the same size. The size of atoms is one of the things that differentiate the basic elements. The number of neutrons and electrons affects the size. There are specific sizes depending upon the number of valiance shells that are occupied. So while weight may vary between certain elements, the area they occupy will be almost identical. There is a lot of difference in sizes. In general, if you look at the atomic weight you will see the size difference. However, the size difference between different atoms are nowhere near the scale of the differences in weights and number of protons and neutrons. For example, an atom of plutonium is roughly 200 times as heavy as a hydrogen atom, but only about 3 times the size of a hydrogen atom.
What happens to the atomic size from the top of the periodic table to the bottom?
The atomic size increase from top to bottom of Periodic Table. As the number of shells increases from top to bottom, the atomic size increases.
What happens to the atomic size from the top to the bottom of the periodic table?
The atomic size increase from top to bottom of periodic table. As the number of shells increases from top to bottom, the atomic size increases.
Why is the number of neutrons the atomic number?
the number of neutrons is not the atomic number. The atomic number of an atom is the atoms number of protons. The number of protons is same as the number of electrons. The number of protons is used as the atomic number so that the elements can be easily organized in polarity size and bonding probability.
What is the difference between a sheep station and a sheep farm?
The size of the property and thus the number of sheep that can be grazed..

Why does atomic size tend to decrease with increasing atomic number across a row of the periodic table?
electronegativity
