What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of how 'hungry' an atom is for electrons.

Front

Do noble gases have an electronegativity value?

Back

No, noble gases do not have an electronegativity value.

Front

What happens to ionization energy as you go up a group in the periodic table?

Back

Ionization energy increases as you go up a group.

Front

What is ionization energy?

Back

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

Front

What happens to ionization energy as you move to the right across a period in the periodic table?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Front

What is the trend of atomic radius as you move to the right across a period?

Back

The atomic radius decreases as you move to the right across a period.

Front

What is the relationship between electronegativity and atomic radius?

Back

As electronegativity increases, atomic radius generally decreases.
