* Atomic Size Trends: Atomic radius generally increases as you move down a group (column) on the periodic table and decreases as you move across a period (row) from left to right.
* Location on the Periodic Table:
* Hydrogen (H) is in the first period and group 1.
* Sodium (Na) is in the third period and group 1.
* Lithium (Li) is in the second period and group 1.
Explanation:
* Hydrogen is the smallest because it's in the first period.
* Lithium is smaller than sodium because it's higher up in the same group (group 1).
Therefore, hydrogen (H) has the smallest atomic radius out of hydrogen, sodium, and lithium.
