Front

Define ionization energy.

Back

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons.

Front

How does atomic radius change across a period?

Back

Atomic radius decreases as you move from left to right across a period.

Front
