Please follow the directions very carefully and make sure the data is correct. Make sure it is formatted the way the instructions are stating, let me know if you have any questions!

1. **Collecting Data:**

– Research and gather data on atomic radii for all elements in the periodic table. Websites like Wikipedia, online databases, or academic sources can provide this information.
– Create a table with two columns: Atomic Number and Atomic Radius (in picometers). List the data accordingly.

2. **Plotting Atomic Radius vs. Atomic Number:**
– Use a graphing tool like WolframAlpha, Excel, or Google Sheets to create a scatter plot.
– Plot atomic radius on the y-axis and atomic number on the x-axis.

3. **Calculating Mean (Average) Value:**
– Sum up all atomic radii.
– Divide the sum by the total number of elements.

4. **Calculating Standard Deviation:**

You can use WolframAlpha, Excel or Google Sheets

5. **Calculating Median:**

You can use WolframAlpha, Excel or Google Sheets

6. **Plotting Histogram:**
– Use the same graphing tool to create a histogram of atomic radii.
– Adjust bin sizes appropriately to represent the data effectively.

Once you’ve collected the data and performed the calculations, present your findings in a DOC or Google Doc file and submit it.
