1. Then, ​explain the pattern in each graph​.

How can the structure of the atoms in these

elements to account for the patterns that you see in your graphs?
2. Choose 2 other trends that could you use the data to graph. Explain: WHY would it be
useful/helpful/interesting to see those patterns? Add this to your document.
i. Density: the mass of a substance per unit of volume
ii. Electronegativity: a measure of an atom’s ability to attract electrons
iii. First Ion(isation) Energy : a measure of how hard it is to remove the first
electron from a neutral atom
iv. Covalent atomic radius: the distance from the centre of the nucleus to the
outermost electron shell or layer of an atom
