Trends in the Periodic Table

There are many trends in the period table for you to predict a property of an element, and in this post I'm going to talk about four of them.

Atomic Radius

Atomic radius is the mean distance between the centre of the nucleus to the boundary of the electron clouds. It increases as the group number decreases, and increases as the periodic number increases.

Ionization Energy
Ionization energy is the amount of energy that is needed to remove an electron from an atom. It increases as the group number increases, and increases as the periodic number decreases.

Electron Affinity 
Electron affinity is the change of energy when one electron is added to an atom. It has the same trend as ionization energy.
**note: this does not apply to noble gases, as the electron affinity of noble gases is unknown

Electronegativity
Electronegativity is the ability for a nucleus to attract electrons.  It has the same trend as ionization energy and electron affinity.

  1. Types of set - some children are naturally inclined towards machines, whilst some move towards buildings or a combination of
    both. Almost everyone can probably recall playing with
    them as a child, putting together figures and taking them apart without any regard
    for what they were doing. The LEGO Minotaurus comes with a
    rule booklet, instruction manual to build the board, one building LEGO dice, one building board,
    12 LEGO micro figures and 224 LEGO pieces.

  5. Any liquid that will quench the thirst are beverages.
    But for some when a single suggests beverages it a lot more of non alcoholic drinks compared to the alcoholic a
    single.

  6. I also hear that my buddy is very pleased just after he purchased it lately.
    Another advantage for the thermal carafe is that the coffee stains tend not to show also it doesn't break as easily like a glass carafe does. Some coffee makers have a one year limited warranty and are many years.

  7. They want to look romantic and they want to have a romantic memory.

    The most famous ones being the solitaires in prong settings.
    The colour grade of a diamond is determined by
    looking at it on an angle and is often hard to determine
    with the naked eye.
