As you move down the periodic table atoms get bigger. This is because ____________.

The atoms have more energy levels

Atoms that have a high electronegativity, _______________.

hold on to their electrons more tightly.

give up their electrons more easily.

Electronegativity is...

how good an atom is at attracting electrons

the ability of an atom to lose electrons

the energy required to remove an electron from a specific atom

how easy it is to make friends.

Ionization energy is...

how much energy it takes to remove an electron from an atom

the energy required to add an electron to a specific atom

the energy required to shield the outer electrons from the nucleus

a measure of the ability of an atom to attract electrons

Metals have the largest -
