Respuesta :
The element that has the smallest atomic radius is titanium
explanation
- Calcium,potassium, scandium and titanium are in period 4 in the periodic table.
- Generally the atomic radius decreases across the period (from the left to the right) . This is because across the period there is increase in nuclear charge which make electrons been strongly attracted to the nuclear.
- Titanium is in atomic number 22 thus it has more nuclear charge that calcium,potassium and scandium therefore titanium has the smallest atomic radius.
