Periodic Trends Re-Test Tutoring Practice 2

There are 3 main factors that we discussed that impact the periodic trends of atomic radius,
electronegativity and ionization energy. Write a short description of each in the appropriate
spaces below.

1. Electron Shielding

2. Nuclear Pull

3. Electron Repulsion

Draw and label the arrows for atomic radius, electronegativity and ionization energy on the
periodic table below.
Explain how nuclear pull (np), electron shielding (es) and electron repulsion (er) cause the
following to happen.

1. Increasing atomic radius as you go down a group

2. Decreasing atomic radius as you go across a period from LEFT to RIGHT

3. Decreasing electronegativity as you go down a group

4. Increasing electronegativity as you go across a period from LEFT to RIGHT

5. Decreasing ionization energy as you go down a group

6. Increasing ionization energy as you go across a period from LEFT to RIGHT
