The atomic radius decreases as you move across a
period
.
True
The atomic radius increases as you move down a group in the periodic table.
True
The effective nuclear charge decreases as you move down a
group
.
True
Electronegativity increases as you move across a
period
.
True
Ionization energy decreases as you move down a
group
The effective nuclear charge decreases as you move across a period.
False
The effective nuclear charge decreases as you move down a
group
.
True
As you move across a period, the effective nuclear charge
increases
, making it harder to remove an electron.
Understanding periodic trends is crucial for predicting the chemical
behavior
Electronegativity increases across a
period
.
True
Periodic trends are observed as you move across a
period
or down a
group
in the periodic table.

Electronegativity increases as you move across a
period
and decreases down a
group
.

The atomic radius decreases as effective nuclear charge
increases
across a period.
increases
Atomic radius increases as you move down a
group
Ionization energy increases as you move across a period.
True
Order the following properties based on their trends across a period from left to right:
1️⃣ Atomic Radius
2️⃣ Electronegativity
3️⃣ Ionization Energy
4️⃣ Electron Affinity
The shielding effect remains constant across a period.
True
The atomic radius decreases across a
period
Order the following periodic properties from least to most negative across a period:
1️⃣ Electron Affinity ||| Electronegativity ||| Ionization Energy
Increased effective nuclear charge leads to a decrease in
atomic radius
.
True
As you move down a group, the shielding effect increases, leading to a larger
atomic radius
.
True
Increased effective nuclear charge across a period increases
ionization energy
.
True
A more negative electron affinity indicates a
stronger
attraction for electrons.
True
Increased effective nuclear charge across a period enhances
electronegativity
.
True
Why is understanding periodic trends crucial for predicting chemical behavior?
They explain atomic properties
The main periodic trends are influenced by effective nuclear charge and
shielding
.
The effective nuclear charge (Zeff) is calculated as the nuclear charge minus the
shielding
constant.
Shielding weakens the nuclear pull, resulting in a larger
atomic radius
down a group.
True
Ionization energy increases across a period because
effective nuclear charge
increases.
True
Electron affinity becomes more negative across a period due to increasing effective
nuclear charge
.
True
Electronegativity helps predict
bond
polarity and chemical reactivity.
True
Periodic trends are systematic changes in element properties influenced by effective nuclear charge and the
shielding
effect.
Across a period, atomic radius
decreases
, while down a group, it increases.
What happens to electronegativity across a period?
Increases
