In each of the given pairs, choose which element will have the bigger atom. Give reasons for your choice. (a) Mg (atomic number 12) or Cl (atomic number 17) (b) Na (atomic number 11) or K (atomic number 19)

Mg (atomic number 12)

K (atomic number 19)

Explanation:

The size of an atom is estimated in terms of its atomic radius.

The atomic radius is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance (d) between two nuclei in the solid - state of metals.

Cl is further right of Mg in the third period

K is below Na in the first group
