116
Q

Atomic radius across a period

A

Decreases

117
Q

Atomic radius down a group

A

Increases

118
Q

Why does atomic radius decrease across a period

A

Increasing nuclear charge pulls outer electrons in closer to nucleus

119
Q

Reasons for atomic radius increasing going down a group

A 
Screening effect (more electrons)
Just bigger (more electrons)
(There is more nuclear charge but cancelled out by^^)
120
Q

Why are group 1 more reactive going down the group (lose electrons when reacting) (2)

A

Atomic radius increases (further away from pull of nucleus)

Increased screening

121
Q

Why are group 7 elements live reactive doing down the group (gain electrons when reacting )

A

Atomic radius increases, new electrons can’t get close to nucleus to be held tightly
Extra screening makes it more difficult to gain electrons

129
Q

Always increasing
Very large increase from one main energy level to another eg. n=2 and n =3
