Question | Answer |
Atomic Radius across a period | There is a decrease in atomic radii as you move left to right across a period this is due to the increase of nuclear charge and an increase in the number of electrons. |
Atomic Radius down a group | Atomic radii increases as you move down a group due to an increase in the number of mainshells and an increase in shielding effect. |
Ionic Radius across a period | Ionic Radius decreases across a period to group 15 where it increases and then it decreases again. |
Ionic Radius down a group | Ionic Radius increases down a group due to more mainshells of electrons and increase in shielding effect. |
Ionization Energy across a period | Ionization Energy increases across a period due to an increase in nuclear charge and a smaller radius. |
Ionization Energy down a group | Ionization Energy decreases down a group because the electrons are farther from the nucleus causing a greater shielding effect. |
Electronegativity across a period | Electronegativity increases across a period due to an increase in nuclear charge and the decrease in atomic radius, the nucleus has a greater pull on the nucleus. |
Electronegativity down a group | Electronegativity decreases down a group due to an increase in the mainshells and increase in shielding effect, the pull of the nucleus on the electrons is lessened. |
Electron Affinity across a period | Electron Affinity increases across a period because of the increase in nuclear charge and the smaller radius makes it easier to pull an electron into the valence shell. |
Electron Affinity down a group | Electron Affinity decreases down a group because the valence shell is farther away from the nucleus and there is more shielding effect. |
