The 15 pages that link to Atomic radius, each with the reason it gives.

• ElectronegativityRelated: Smaller atoms often attract shared electrons more strongly because bonding electrons lie closer to their nuclei.

• Ionization energyRelated: A larger radius often places the outer electron farther from the nucleus.

• Periodic trendsBroader topic: Its decrease across periods and increase down groups reveal changing nuclear attraction and shell count.

• Lanthanide contractionNarrower topic: The contraction is a systematic trend in atomic size.

• Effective nuclear chargeRelated: Greater effective nuclear attraction generally contracts an atom's electron cloud.

• PolarizabilityRelated: Larger electron clouds are generally easier to distort.

• Van der Waals radiusNarrower topic: The Van der Waals radius is one convention within this broader family.

• Covalent radiusNarrower topic: Covalent radius is one operational definition within this broader family of size measures.

• ÅngströmRelated: Atomic radii are commonly expressed in ångströms because atoms typically span a few tenths of a nanometre.

• Period 3 elementRelated: Its general decrease across the period follows the increasing effective nuclear charge.

• Atomic packing factorRelated: The assumed radius determines each hard sphere’s volume in the calculation.

• Period 2 elementRelated: It generally contracts from lithium to fluorine as effective nuclear charge rises.

• Period 4 elementRelated: Atomic radii generally contract across Period 4 as nuclear charge increases.

• Period 6 elementRelated: Its periodic trend across period 6 reflects changing nuclear attraction and electron shielding.

• Atomic propertiesRelated: Radius provides a comparable size measure that varies across the periodic table.
