PERIODIC TRENDS WORKSHEETS

1. Rank the following elements by increasing atomic radius: Carbon, Aluminum, Oxygen, Potassium.

Increasing Order: Oxygen >>> Carbon >>> Aluminum >>> Potassium

2. Rank the following elements by increasing electronegativity: Sulfur, Oxygen, Neon, Aluminum
Increasing Order: Neon >>> Aluminum >>> Sulfur >>> Oxygen

3. Why does Fluorine have a higher ionization energy than Iodine?

Fluorine’s size is smaller compared to Iodine, and for that Fluorine has a higher ionization energy
than Iodine. Fluorine also has a lesser shielding effect and as a result, Fluorine’s nucleus attracts
more valence electrons than that of Iodine’s.

4. Indicate whether the following properties increase or decrease from left to right across the periodic table:

a) Atomic Radius (Excluding noble gasses)

Atomic Radius decreases going left to right across a period.

b) First Ionization Energy

First Ionization Energy increases going left to right across a period.

c) Electronegativity
Electronegativity increases going left to right across a period.

d) Electron Affinity

Electron affinity increases going left to right across a period.

e) Metallic Properties

Metallic properties decrease going left to right across a period.
