Of the elements calcium, ca, beryllium, be, barium, ba, and strontium, sr, which has the largest atomic radius? explain your answer in terms of trends in the periodic table.

Explanation:

When we move down a group then there occurs an increase in the size elements due to the addition of more number of electrons into new shells.

Hence, it means that atomic radius of the elements also increases.  

For the given group 2A elements, beryllium is at the top so it has smaller atomic radius whereas barium is at the bottom.

Therefore, we can conclude that barium has the largest atomic radius.

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
