Atomic radius

 1  0
Periodic trend
A conventional measure of atomic extent. Covalent, metallic, ionic and van der Waals definitions differ, so one universal hard-sphere radius should not be assumed.

Inert-pair effect

 1  0
Periodic trend
Relative reluctance of a heavier main-group ns electron pair to participate in the higher oxidation state. Retained pairs can nevertheless influence structure through mixing and stereochemical activity.
