Turn this sheet in with your Excel Graph. Atomic Radii (in pm) Incr/Decr ? Inc a !roup dec a period W y? "ore electrons #ill more ener!y le$els makin! a %i!!er radius

&ecause t ere are more protons in t e nucleus to attract t e electrons and dra' electrons in closer

Electron Affinity Incr/Decr ? dec a !roup inc a period W y? ( e electron is added to lar!er or%itals not close to t e nucleus) ( e num%er o# electrons increases so #orce o# repulsion is !reater) It is closer to t e nucleus so t e protons attract electrons more)

First Ionization Energy Incr/Decr ? Dec a !roup inc a period W y? *adius increases so it takes less ener!y to remo$e one electron) ( ere are more ener!y le$els t at s ield t e outer electrons so it is easier to remo$e) ( ere are more protons in t e nucleus to attract t e electron so t ey are arder to remo$e)
