500

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.

500

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. 

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 nuclear pull.  There are also more core electrons to shield the pull from the nucleus, which reduces its ability to attract electrons, making electronegativity decrease.  

It increases across a period, because nuclear charge increases without adding energy levels, so that increases the attraction for electrons, thus increasing electronegativity. 

500

What's the difference between a group and a period?  What information can we get from them? 

Groups are the vertical columns on the periodic table, periods are the horizontal rows. 

Groups tell us the number of valence electrons, periods tell us how many energy levels are used to arrange the electrons.
