Atomic Size Trend in the 4d Transition Metal Series: Explained

Powered By Atomic Size Trend In 4d Series

The atomic size trend in the 4d transition metal series (Yttrium to Cadmium) exhibits a complex behavior. Generally, atomic size decreases from Yttrium to Molybdenum due to increasing nuclear charge and effective nuclear charge. However, after Molybdenum, the atomic size remains relatively constant and even slightly increases towards the end of the series. This is attributed to increased electron-electron repulsion, which counteracts the effect of increasing nuclear charge. Shielding effects also play a significant role in influencing the observed trend.
