An electron configuration be used to predict relative atomic size because the larger the highest energy level number, the larger the atomic

radius.

The electron configuration of an element shows the arrangement of electrons in atoms of that element.

As more sublevels are added, repulsion between electrons occupying shells increases causing a greater shielding and consequent increase in the size of the atom.

Hence, the larger the highest energy level number, the larger the atomic

radius.
