Study Notes

  • Periodic trends describe patterns in the properties of elements across the periodic table.
  • Atomic radius: Half the distance between the nuclei of two atoms of the same element.
    • Trend: Decreases as you go from left to right across the periodic table.
      • Reason: As electrons are added across a period, the electrons are pulled closer to the positive nucleus.
    • Trend: Increases as you go down a group.
      • Reason: As electrons occupy energy levels that are farther from the nucleus, there is less pull between the outer shell electrons and the positive nucleus.
  • Ionization energy: The energy required to remove an electron from an atom.
    • Trend: Increases as you go from left to right across the periodic table.
      • Reason: As the electrons increase, the attraction for the outer level of electrons also increases, requiring more energy to remove an electron.
    • Trend: Decreases as you go down a group.
      • Reason: As you go down a group, the positive nuclear charge increases, but the outer electrons are farther from the nucleus resulting in a decrease in ionization energy.
