One of the many periodic properties of the elements that can be explained by electron configurations is size, or atomic radius. You might wonder, though, how we can talk about a definite "size" for an atom, having said in Section 5.8 that the electron clouds around atoms have no specific boundaries. What s usually done is to define an atom s radius as being half the distance between the nuclei of two identical atoms when they are bonded together. In the Cl2 molecule, for example, the distance between the two chlorine nuclei is 198 pm in diamond (elemental carbon), the distance between two carbon nuclei is 154 pm. Thus, we say that the atomic radius of chlorine is half the Cl-Cl distance, or 99 pm, and the atomic radius of carbon is half the C-C distance, or 77 pm. 

In April 2010, a research team reported that they had made Element 117. The report has yet to be confirmed. Write out Element 117 s ground-state electron configuration, and estimate values for its first ionization eneigy, electron affinity, atomic size, and common oxidation state based on its position in the periodic table. 

All the elements have stable electronic configurations (Is or ns np ) and, under normal circumstances are colourless, odourless and tasteless monatomic gases. The non-polar, spherical nature of the atoms which this implies, leads to physical properties which vary regularly with atomic number. The only interatomic interactions are weak van der Waals forces. These increase in magnitude as the polarizabilities of the atoms increase and the ionization energies decrease, the effect of both factors therefore being to increase the interactions as the sizes of the atoms increase. This is shown most directly by the enthalpy of vaporization, which is a measure of the energy required to overcome the... 

The stability of the electronic configuration is indicated by the fact that each element has the highest ionization energy in its period, though the value decreases down the group as a result of increasing size of the atoms. For the heavier elements is it actually smaller than for first-row elements such as O and F with consequences for the chemical reactivities of the noble gases which will be considered in the next section. Nuclear properties, particularly for xenon, have been exploited for nmr spectroscopy and Mdssbauer... 

The electron configuration or orbital diagram of an atom of an element can be deduced from its position in the periodic table. Beyond that, position in the table can be used to predict (Section 6.8) the relative sizes of atoms and ions (atomic radius, ionic radius) and the relative tendencies of atoms to give up or acquire electrons (ionization energy, electronegativity).

The simplest reactions to study, those of coordination complexes with solvent, are used to classify metal ions as labile or inert. Factors affecting metal ion lability include size, charge, electron configuration, and coordination number. Solvents can by classified as to their size, polarity, and the nature of the donor atom. Using the water exchange reaction for the aqua ion [M(H20) ]m+, metal ions are divided by Cotton, Wilkinson, and Gaus7 into four classes ...
