As we move across the table we'll find a regular increase trend in the atomic no. of the elements. This implies that there is regular increase in valence electrons ie the valency increases regularly by 1. for eg sodium, magnesium, aluminum atc lies in same period . Their electronic confriguration is

Na=2,8,1

Mg=2,8,2

Al=2,8,3

a decrease in ionization energy

What trend does electronegativity follow?

In electronegativity, the first ionization energy increases as it moves from left to right across a period . The nuclear charge also increases and the shielding effect is constant when moving across.


Which statement describes the general trends in electronegativity and first ionization energy as the elements in Period 3 are considered in order from Na to Cl?

The Pauling electronegativity and the first ionization energy increase from sodium to chlorine.


How does ionization energy of elements in the same period change?

Ionization energy increases as you go across a period, but as you go down a group it decreases.


What is the general trend of ionization energy as you go across the periodic table?

Across a period, first ionization energy increases. However, when going down a group, first ionization energy generally decreases. As you go down a group, atoms hove more total electrons so they don't really care that much about their outermost ones.


What happens when the nuclear charge increases across a period?

The atomic size decreases (with some exceptions) , the ionization energy , electronegativity and electron affinity also increase from left to right.


What increases as you move up a column of the periodic table?
