Atomic and ionic radii of superheavy elements

Fricke, Burkhard
Waber, James Thomas

Atomic and ionic radii are presented for the elements E104-E120 and E156-E172. It is shown that a number of effects correlated with the large relativistic contraction of orbitals with low angular momentum leads to smaller atoms for higher atomic numbers. It is expected that Cs is the largest atom in nature.
