As alkali metals increase in size, the distance of the outermost electrons from the nucleus increases. The attraction between the electrons and the nucleus is electrostatic, and it is a fundamental property of electrostatic attractions that the attraction decreases with increasing distance between the attracting charges. Another way of describing this is that the attractive force is partially "screened" by the inner electrons between the outermost electrons and the nucleus.
Yes, the speed increases when a liquid changes to a gas, And the attraction between particles also decreases. :) -Anouymous
Atomic size increases from top to bottom in a group due to increase in theshieldingeffect.As you go down the group shielding from core electrons increases (as more core electrons are added), therefore valence electrons experience weaker attraction forces from the nucleus and are located further away from it, resulting in an increase in size.If you move across a period the attraction between the nucleus and valence electrons increases because the number of protons and the number of valence electrons both go up whereas the number of core electrons stays the same (shielding decreases). In this case the size decreases.
When electrons are shared between atoms, the nuclei of both atoms experience attraction towards the electrons and vice versa. At a certain distance, the attraction is maximal because the repulsion between the nuclei is small while the attraction of each nuclei to the electrons is strong. Thus, the atoms are held together by their attraction to the shared electrons.
It decreases as you go down a group because the atomic radius increases, and the energy shells increase, so the attraction is less. also, the number of electrons going down a period also increase, so there is more repulsion, and its harder to add electrons.
As from top to bottom on a periodic table one energy shell is added. Thus the distance between the electrons and the protons increase and the attraction force decreases. Then it becomes easier to get one electron out from the most outer shell. This is why the ionization potential decreases.

As the distance decreases the attraction increases
is an attraction between atoms so electrons are shared in a physical bond
The gravitational force (or attraction) between any two objects increases as the distance between them decreases. Thus, as an asteroid approaches Earth, the Earth's gravitational pull will increase as it gets nearer.

Rotation and supination do not increase or decrease the angle between bones.
Inner core electrons are electrons that shield attraction between protons and valence electrons.
The number of energy levels increases from top to bottom of a group. So the electrons are easy to remove. So the ionization energy decreases.
