What is electronegativity?
It's a measure of how strongly an atom attracts electrons.
300
Explain why we observe the periodic trends in atomic radius.
It increases from top to bottom within a group because energy levels are added, which increases the distance between the valence electrons and the nucleus.
It decreases across a period, because nuclear charge increases without adding energy levels, so that increases the attraction for electrons which pulls them in and makes the atom smaller.

7 lines, 14 arrows

400
What is the periodic trend in atomic radius (both in groups and in periods)?
Atomic radius decreases from left to right within a period and increases from top to bottom within a group.
400
Explain why we observe the periodic trends in ionization energy.
It decreases from top to bottom within a group because energy levels are added, which increases the distance between the valence electrons and the nuclear pull. There are also more core electrons to shield the pull from the nucleus, which makes it easier to remove electrons, making ionization energy decrease.
It increases across a period, because nuclear charge increases without adding energy levels, so that increases the attraction for electrons and makes them harder to remove, which increases ionization energy.

Explain what's wrong the orbital diagram: 
You are not allowed to have two arrows pointing in the same direction on the same line.

What is the periodic trend in ionization energy (both in groups and in periods)?
Ionization energy increases from left to right within a period and decreases from top to bottom within a group.
500
Explain why we observe the periodic trends in electronegativity.
It decreases from top to bottom within a group because energy levels are added, which increases the distance between the valence electrons and the nucleus. This weakens the attraction for electrons.
It increases across a period, because nuclear charge increases without adding energy levels, so that increases the attraction for electrons.
