Comparing Atom Sizes Lab

Table which I used to make the graph

My conclusions on a graph:

















For homework, we had to complete a lab called comparing atom sizes. The task we needed to do was quit easy to understand. So we needed to make a graph and present specific information on it. So we needed to compare the atomic number to the radius of the atom. Did the radius go up as the atomic number goes up or the opposite?

Conclusion: So from this graph what I concluded is that as the atomic number goes higher, the radius will get bigger to. The reason why is because when the atomic number is bigger that means there are more protons, neutrons and electrons, and since there are more, they fill up more of the space, which makes the atoms radius bigger.
