Which atom or ion is the largest? a. k b. k+ c. ca d. ca2+ e. li

Consequently, the ion with the greatest nuclear charge (Al 3 +) is the smallest, and the ion with the smallest nuclear charge (N 3−) is the largest. The neon atom in this isoelectronic series is not listed in Table 2.8.3, because neon forms no covalent or ionic compounds and hence its radius is difficult to measure.

periodic trends is an atom that gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase, the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. in general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to right of a certain period.

the answer is b. dilution
