Periodic table trends Flashcards
1
Q
How is atomic size on the periodic table
A
Down the periodic table = increase in size
Left to right = decrease in size
2
Q
Reactivity on periodic table
A
Down = increases metal reactivity
Right to Left = increases metal reactivity
3
Q
Non metal reactivity
A
(Non metal area)
Right = increase reactivity
Up = increase reactivity
4
Q
Ionisation energy
A
Bottom left to top right increases ionisation energy (Fluorine is highest)
5
Q
Electronegativity
A
Bottom left to top right increases electronegativity (Fluorine is highest)
