Periodic Trends Flashcards
1
Q
Atomic radius increases…
A
down a group due to electron repulsion
Decreases across a period due to the number of protons
2
Q
Ionization energy increases….
A
across a period due to number of protons
Decreases down a group due to electron repulsion
3
Q
Electron affinity increases…
A
across a group due to the number of protons
Decreases down a group due to electron repulsion
4
Q
Force: Number of protons
A
The more protons an atom has, the stronger the nucleus can attract the valence electrons
5
Q
Force: Electron repulsion
A
The more electron shells in between the nucleus and valence shell the more repulsion created which reduces the attractive force of the nucleus
