Study Notes
Periodic Trends Characteristics
- A characteristic of periodic trends is a gradual change in properties of elements as you move across a period or down a group in the periodic table.
Factors Determining Periodic Trends
- The main factor that determines periodic trends is the electron configuration of the atoms, which changes in a predictable way across a period or down a group.
Examples of Periodic Trends
- An example of a periodic trend is the increase in atomic radius as you move down a group in the periodic table.
