Smaller

Bigger

Trends in Periodic Table

1. Atomic Radius Distance from the center of the nucleus to the outer electron shell (Page 399)

2. Ionization Energy energy required to remove an electron

3. Electronegativity tendency for an atom to attract electrons to itself (Page 405)

4. Ionic Size IR (Page 399)

 Cations decrease in size as they lose electrons
 Anions increase in size as they gain electrons
 Ions lower on periodic table (higher period) are farter from the nucleus and get bigger
