The general trend with Ionization energy as you move down a column on the Periodic Table is that IE decreases.
Ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom. As you move down a column, the electron moves farther away from the nucleus and the electron shielding effect increases. There is less of a pull keeping the electron in thus making it easier to remove.

When you go down the periodic table what happens to the electronegativity?
Increase -tac
What happens to the atomic radius as you move down the periodic table?
Down a group, the atomic radius increases as the number of shells or energy levels increases.
Where will you find larger atoms on the periodic table?
In the left corner down of the periodic table.
What happens to the atomic mass as you go from down a group in the periodic table and why?
Atomic mass gets bigger when it goes down since the protons are inceasing.
When moving down the middle of the periodic table is there an decrease in reactivity?
yes, some transition metals like gold(Au) are almost unreactive.
When moving down a group in the periodic table what does the number of valence electrons do?
When moving down a column in the periodic table, except for the first period of column 18, the number of valence electrons remains unchanged.
What happens to elements as you move down the periodic table?
they do something
When moving down the middle of the periodic table is there an increase in nonreactive atoms?
yes
When you go down the periodic table what happens to the electronegativity?
Increase -tac
How do you tell electronegative levels on a periodic table?
Electronegativity increases while moving left to right along the period and decreases down the group in the periodic table.
Which is true moving down a column or group in the periodic table?
Atomic radius increases down a group. Metallic character also increases down the group.
What happens to the atomic radius as you move down the periodic table?
Down a group, the atomic radius increases as the number of shells or energy levels increases.
Where will you find larger atoms on the periodic table?
In the left corner down of the periodic table.
What trend in atomic radius occurs down a group in the periodic table?
Atomic radii increases moving down a group in the Periodic Table due to the increasing energy levels in the electron configuration and electrons filling in energy levels further away from the nucleus.
How does electronegative change going down and across the periodic table?
Electronegativity increases across (left to right) the periodic table and decreases on going down.
When you read across a row on the periodic table what happens?
Periods (across the periodic table) have increasing atomic mass. Groups (down the table) have similar properties and reactive natures.
What happens to the size of the atoms as you move down the periodic table in group 7?
Down the group, size increases. Because number of shells increases.
