How does the atomic radius of Ca compare to K, and why?
a) Smaller, because calcium has 1 additional proton in the nucleus.
b) Smaller, because its electrons experience less shielding.
c) Larger, because calcium has 1 additional proton in the nucleus.
d) Larger, because it has more electron repulsions.

How does the atomic radius of Ba compare to Sr, and why?
a) Smaller, because it has more protons in the nucleus.
b) Smaller, because it has a greater electronegativity.
c) Larger, because it has one additional occupied shell of electrons.
d) Larger, because its electrons experience more shielding.

How does the ionic radius of F- compare to that of O-2?
a) Smaller, because oxygen has more electron repulsions.
