    Periodic Trends

    Recurring patterns in elements' properties across the periodic table.

    Ionization Energy Trend (IIA - IIIA)

    Ionization energy slightly decreases between Groups IIA and IIIA, due to electrons being removed from a p-orbital (further from the nucleus) rather than an s-orbital.

    Ionization Energy Trend (VA - VIA)

    Ionization energy slightly increases between Groups VA and VIA because the electron removed is from a doubly occupied orbital, experiencing repulsion from the other electron.

    Electron Affinity Trend: Top to Bottom

    Electron affinity decreases as you move down a group in the periodic table. Atoms become larger, and the added electron is farther from the nucleus, resulting in weaker attraction.

    Electron Affinity Trend: Left to Right

    Electron affinity generally increases as you move across a period. Atoms become smaller, making the added electron closer to the nucleus and experiencing stronger attraction.

    Electron Affinity Discontinuity (IA - IIA)

    Electron affinity decreases between Groups IA and IIA because the added electron enters a p-orbital, further from the nucleus and experiencing repulsion from s-electrons.
