Worked practice questions

How does shielding help explain larger atoms down a group?

  1. Electrons move into the nucleus
  2. Outer electrons feel less attraction
  3. Nuclei contain fewer protons
  4. The outer shell disappears
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Outer electrons feel less attraction

Shielding weakens the pull on outer electrons, allowing a larger radius.
