Along a period what happens to the atomic radius
Decreased
What does atomic radius decrease along a PERIOD
Increased nuclear charge for the same number of electron shells
The outer electrons are pulled in closer to the nucleus
What happens to the atomic radius going down a group
It increases
What happens to ionisation energy going along a period
Increases
Why does ionisation energy increase along a period
The decreasing atomic radius lands stronger attraction so more energy to overcome forces
What happens to ionisation energy going down a group
Decreases
