There are few ionic compounds for the nobel gases and/or B, C, and Si.
The transition elements have more or less the same ionic size for the electrons added as we move across the period are going into an inner shell.
Questions about ionic radius...
Why do the noble gas elements not have ionic radii?
Why do boron, carbon and silicon not have ionic radii?
What observations can be made regarding the ionic size for the transition elements along each period.
Thanks for your help ^.^
