Electronegativity and Periodic Patterns

1. Based on this analogy, what do you think might make an atom more 'hoggy' or 'strong' when it comes to electrons?

2. Where do you think the 'strongest' and 'weakest' teams might be found on the periodic table 'tug-of-war'?" (This can introduce the concept of periodic trends).

On a whiteboard, work together as a group to create one Frayer Model for electronegativity. Discuss your ideas and reasoning with each other as you complete each section of the model.

• Ok, I will do this with my group

• I might do this with my group

• never

• I have not read this question

• Using arrows and labels: On your periodic table, use arrows to show the direction of increasing electronegativity. Label each arrow to indicate whether it represents a trend across a period or down a group.

• Color-coding (optional): You can also use different colors for the arrows representing trends across periods and down groups to make the trends even clearer.
