The atomic radius of Ag is closest to:

1. Au
2. Ni
3. Cu
4. Hg

Correct answer: Au

Solution

Silver (Ag) and gold (Au) are both in the same group of the periodic table, which means they have similar atomic structures and properties, including atomic radius. As you move down a group, the atomic radius generally increases, making Au the closest match to Ag.
