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.

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.


When moving down a group in the periodic table what does the number of valence electrons do?

The number of valence electrons increases by one as you move down a group in the periodic table. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom, and they determine the chemical properties of an element.


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.

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.


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.


When does the radius of an atom decreases or increases?

The radius of an atom typically decreases when moving from left to right across a period in the periodic table due to increasing nuclear charge. It increases when moving down a group in the periodic table due to the addition of energy levels.
