Question 29

Does first ionization energy increase or decrease as you move left to right in a period? How about as you move down a group?

Answer 29

Increase; decrease

Question 30

Does atomic radius increase or decrease as you move left to right in a period? How about as you move down a group?

Answer 30

Decrease; increase

Question 31

Does electronegativity increase or decrease as you move left to right in a period? How about as you move down a group?

Answer 31

Increase; decrease

Question 32

Does ionic size increase or decrease as you move left to right in a period? How about as you move down a group?

Answer 32

Ionic size depends on if the ion is a metal or not, if it is a metal ion then it will generally be smaller, if it is a nonmetal then it will generally be smaller.
