Periodic trends (To the right (Explanations)

Question 1

What is the general trend moving across a period (to the right) for electronegativity on the periodic table? Why?

Answer 1

Increase

There is an increase in Nuclear charge and no change in electron shielding

Question 2

What is the general trend moving across a period (to the right) for ionization on the periodic table? Why?

Answer 2

Increases

There is an increase in valence electrons, and an increase in nuclear charge and no change in electron shielding

Question 3

What is the general trend moving across a period (to the right) for electron shielding on the periodic table? Why?

Answer 3

No change

No additional energy levels

Question 4

What is the general trend moving across a period (to the right) for atomic radius on the periodic table? Why?

Answer 4

Decreases

The nuclear charge pulls in electron causing the atomic radius to decrease

Question 5

What is the general trend moving across a period (to the right) for electron affinity on the periodic table? Why?

Answer 5

Increases

gains electrons and takes energy

Question 6

What is the general trend moving across a period (to the right) for nuclear charge on the periodic table? Why?

Answer 6

Increases

More protons

Question 7

What is the general trend moving across a period (to the right) for ionic size on the periodic table? Why?

Answer 7

Decreases

Metal decreases and non metals decreases
