Periodic Table Trends

Front

The distance between nucleus and outermost shell occupied electron

Back

Atomic Radii

Front

The energy it takes to remove one electron from an atom

Back

Ionization Energy

Front

The tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons

Back

Electronegativity

Front

The amount of energy released when an electron is added to a neutral atom to form a negative ion

Back

Electron Afinity

Front

The degree of oxidation (loss of electrons) of an atom in a chemical compound

Back

Oxidation Number

Front

Atomic radii trends is . . . .

Back

generally decrease along each period of the table, from the alkali metals to the noble gases; and increase down each group.

Front

Ionization energy trends is . . . .

Back

becomes greater up and to the right of the periodic table.

Front

Electronegativity trends is . . . .

Back

increases on passing from left to right along a period, and decreases on descending a group.

Front

Electron affinity trends is . . . .

Back

generally increases across a period, and a trend of decreasing electron affinity going down groups would be expected.

Front

Metallic character trends is . . . .

Back

decrease going across a period and tends to increase going down a group.
