Atomic Architecture and the Periodic Table · Atomic Structure
Periodic Trends and Periodicity
Analyzing recurring patterns in atomic radii, ionization energy, and electronegativity across periods and groups.
Key Questions
- 1How does effective nuclear charge influence the size of an atom?
- 2Why does ionization energy generally increase across a period?
- 3How can we predict the reactivity of an unknown element based on its periodic position?
