Answer the following question in a clear, concise manner.
1. As you down a Group does the Coulombic Force (CF) decrease or increase or stay the same or no specific trend. Explain the reason for the trend.
2. If the Periodic Table is a rectangle, what corner would include the element whose nucleus have the greatest pull (highest CF) to the valence electrons? Top left, Top right, Bottom left, Bottom right?

3. As you go across a Period (row), does Atomic size (AR) decrease or increase or stay the same or no specific trend? Explain
4. If the Periodic Table is a rectangle, what corner would include the element with the SMALLEST atomic radii/size (AR)? Top left, Top right, Bottom left, Bottom right?

5. Electronegativity (EN) has a long complicated definition. What did I say it actually means.
6. As you go across a Period, does the EN decrease or increase or stay the same or no specific trend? Explain the reason for the trend.
7. If the Periodic Table is a rectangle, what corner would include the element with the LARGEST EN (or greatest pull to its valence electrons)? Top left, Top right, Bottom left, Bottom right?
