Going down the group, the atomic radius of elements increases. Why is that so?
the number of shell (n) increases
Shielding effect increases
Nucleus attraction towards valence electrons weaker

What is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself?
atomic radius
ionization energy
shielding
Electronegativity
What happens to atomic radius across a period?
the atoms get bigger because the nucleus is bigger as more protons are added
the atoms get bigger because there are more ve-
the atoms get smaller because with more attraction to the extra protons, the e- cloud moves closer to the nucleus
As you look from left to right across a period, electronegativity
increases
decreases
