How do elements change going down the periodic table?

Down a group, the atomic number generally increases, size increases, ionization energy decreases, reactivity increases.


What trend is generally observed in electronegativity going across the periodic table from left to right?

From left to right and into the upper corner of the periodic table electronegativity increases. Fluorine is the most electronegative element, but the elements in group 18 generally have no electronegativity at all.


What is the periodic trend for electrongativity?

Electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period and decreases from top to bottom within a group on the periodic table. This trend is due to the increasing nuclear charge across a period and the increasing distance between the nucleus and valence electrons down a group.


How does atomic radius increases in the periodic table?

atomic radius increases down a group as the number of shells increases


Does shielding increase as you move down a group in the periodic table?

Yes, shielding increases as you move down a group in the periodic table.


What trend in atomic radius occurs going down on the periodic table and why?

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.


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 trend does electro negativity follow going down the periodic table?

Electronegativity decreases as you go down a group in the periodic table. This is because as you move down a group, the atomic radius increases, leading to a decrease in the attraction between the nucleus and the outer electrons, resulting in lower electronegativity values.


What is the periodic trend for elctronegativity?

Electronegativity generally increases across a period from left to right due to an increase in effective nuclear charge, making it harder for atoms to release electrons. It tends to decrease down a group as the atomic size increases, leading to weaker attraction for valence electrons.


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.


What property increases going down the periodic table?

The atomic radius increases going down the periodic table due to the addition of more electron shells around the nucleus, leading to increased shielding effect and weaker attraction between the electrons and the nucleus.


How does the atomic radius change from top to bottom in a group 1 and 2 in the periodic table?

Going down and to the left on the periodic table, atomic radius increases. Therefore, the smallest atomic radius is that of Helium (He), and the largest is that of Francium (Fr). Coincidentally, these are also the most and least reactive elements.
