Looking across period 4 of the periodic table, potassium (atomic number 19) is followed by calcium (atomic number 20), which is followed by scandium (atomic number 21). Which element should have the largest atomic radius? A.
potassium

B.
calcium

C.
scandium

D.
All three have the same atomic radius.

A.   potassium

Explanation:

Potassium is expected to have the greater atomic radius from the given choices of element.

Atomic radius is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid states of metals.

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
