Why do atoms in a group of elements icrease in size as you move down the columns in the periodic table?

This is because a halogen ion, to become so gained an electron, meaning the positive charge of the protons is spread over more electrons and so there is a greater distance between the outermost shell and the nucleus

As you move down a column in the Periodic Table, the number of electron shells increases. Each new shell added increases the atomic size because the outermost electrons are farther from the nucleus, leading to a larger atomic radius. Additionally, the increasing number of protons and electrons in the nucleus increases the overall size of the atom.

∙ 16y agoactually its called a group of family not a column. And they get bigger because there is more electrons.

What is periodic chemistry?
A periodic chemistry is a periodic table. A periodic table is a tab,e with atoms and elements. Whatever we eat or use have atoms or elements.
What are the columns of the periodic table of elements?
f-block columns
What tells you how heavy an elements atoms are compared with atoms of other elements?
the atomic weights on the periodic table
How many atoms are in the periodic table?
118 elements
A period is a horizontal on the periodic table true or false?
False. A period is a horizontal row on the periodic table that corresponds to the number of electron shells in an element's atoms.
Are columns of elements called periods?
No, columns of elements in the periodic table are called groups or families. Periods are the rows of elements that run horizontally across the table. Each period corresponds to the number of electron shells an element's atoms have.
What are vertical columns of atoms in the periodic table called?
groups

What columns among the representative elements in the periodic table consist of diamagnetic atoms?
The representative elements that consist of diamagnetic atoms are found in columns 1, 2, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 of the periodic table. Diamagnetic atoms have all their electrons paired, resulting in no net magnetic field, making them weakly repelled by magnetic fields. Examples of diamagnetic elements include hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine.
What are the columns of the periodic table of elements?
f-block columns
How are atoms held together on the periodic table?
Periodic table is an arrangement of elements where the elements are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic number. The atoms on the periodic table are not held by any force.
What tells you how heavy elements atoms are compared with atoms of other elements?
the atomic weights on the Periodic Table
What tells you how heavy an elements atoms are compared with atoms of other elements?

The periodic table displays the symbols and of the elements along with information about the structures of their?
The periodic table displays the symbols and atomic numbers of the elements along with information about their atomic masses and electron configurations. It organizes the elements based on their properties and allows for easy identification of trends in chemical behavior across rows and columns.
What are columns on the periodic table orginized by?
Elements on the periodic table are organized by increasing atomic number, which represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. The columns on the periodic table are called groups, and elements within the same group have similar chemical properties due to the same number of valence electrons.
How many atoms are in the periodic table?
118 elements
