The radius of an atom is dependent upon which 2 things? (Two answers) A.) the number of electrons that it contains
B.) the number of neutrons that it contains
C.) the magnitude of attraction from its nucleus
D.) the distance between the electrons and its nucleus

The correct options are;

C. The magnitude of attraction from its nucleus

D. The distance between the electrons and its nucleus

Explanation:

The atomic radius reduces, within a given period, as we move from left to right, the number of protons increases alongside the number of electrons and the while the quantum shell to which the extra electrons are added to is the same. Therefore, the radius of the atom is dependent on the magnitude of the attraction from the nucleus

Similarly, as we progress to the next period, with an extra quantum shell, the atomic radius is seen to increase.

Therefore, the atomic radius is determined by the distance between the electrons and its nucleus.
