Answer:

Explanation:

As one moves down the vertical groupings of elements on the periodic table, it is evident that new shells are being added from top to down.

An atomic orbital is the region of space surrounding the nucleus where there is a high probability of finding an electron.

Down a group, the atomic radius increases as more shells are added to an atom.
