Periodicity

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

• The atoms have more mass.
• The atoms have more protons.
• The atoms have more energy levels
• The atoms have more nuetrons

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.
