Intro to Trends

Front

What is the trend in atomic radius as you move down a group in the periodic table?

Back

Atomic radius increases as you move down a group due to the addition of energy levels.

Front

What is the trend in ionization energy as you move across a period in the periodic table?

Back

Ionization energy increases as you move from left to right across a period.

Front

Which element has a larger atomic radius: Lithium or Potassium?

Back

Potassium has a larger atomic radius than Lithium.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

Front

Which element is more electronegative: Chlorine or Potassium?

Back

Chlorine is more electronegative than Potassium.

Front

What happens to the atomic size of elements as you move from metals to nonmetals across a period?

Back

The atomic size decreases as you move from metals to nonmetals across a period.

Front

Define ionization energy.

Back

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom in its gaseous state.

Front

What is the trend in electronegativity as you move down a group in the periodic table?

Back

Electronegativity decreases as you move down a group.

Front

Which has a higher ionization energy: Magnesium or Strontium?

Back

Magnesium has a higher ionization energy than Strontium.

Front

What is the relationship between atomic radius and ionization energy?

Back

Generally, as atomic radius increases, ionization energy decreases.
