- acidic in nature
- basic in nature
- neutral
- pH doesn't tell its nature
Why does atomic radii decrease when moving across the periodic table?
- Electrons are added in same shell which increases attraction between nucleus and electrons in outermost shell.
- The decrease in ionization, decreases the atomic radii.
