Periodic Trends

Front

What happens to atomic radius as you move down a group in the periodic table?

Back

The atomic radius increases because energy levels are being added.

Back

Electronegativity increases.

Front

What is the relationship between atomic size and ionization energy?

Back

As atomic size increases, ionization energy generally decreases.

Front

What is the effect of increasing nuclear charge on atomic radius?

Back

Increasing nuclear charge pulls electrons closer, decreasing atomic radius.
