For neutral atoms, the periodic trends in atomic size can be described like this

Atomic size decreases when going from left to right across a period,
Atomic size increases when going from top to bottom down a group.

Let's use these trends to try and figure out which atom would have the largest radius.

If you look at elements that are located in the same group, potassium will have a larger atomic radius when compared with sodium. Likewise, bromine will have a larger atomic radius when compared with chlorine.

Now focus on potassium and bromine. Since potassium is located at the start of period 3, and bromine at the end of the same period, potassium will have a larger atomic radius than bromine, and thus the largest atomic radius of the four given atoms.

Allotropes are different structural modifications of an element, that is, each of two or more different physical forms in which an element can exist.

Carbon is capable of forming many allotropes due to its valency. Well-known forms of carbon include charcoal, diamond, graphite, buckminsterfullerene and graphene.

Hence, Ethylene is not an allotrope of Carbon.

The process of making RNA from DNA is called Transcription.

The southern state Telangana decided to make way for electric cars to promote non-polluting vehicles.

The world's largest car park can hold 20,000 vehicles and is situated at the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. There are overflow facilities on an adjoining car park for 10,000 more vehicles.

Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) in economics is a metric that quantifies induced consumption, the concept that the increase in personal consumer spending (consumption) occurs with an increase in disposable income (income after taxes and transfers).
