Definition of Ionisation Energy
The energy needed to remove one mol of an electron from a mole of gaseous atoms of ions
Atomic radius and Ionisation Energy are
Inversely Proportional
What happens down a group between
Atomic radius :
Ionisation Energy :

Define electron affinity
The energy released when one mole of an atom gains an electron to form a negatively charged ion
Explain the trend between electron affinity down the group
decreases
Explain the trend between electron affinity across a period
increases
