These are questions that relate to the notes you took on Periodic Trend Notes for Powerpoint.
When you are discussing Periodic Table and its trends, Across a Period means from left to right on the same row (also called Period) of the Periodic Table.
1. As you down a Group does the Coulombic Force (CF) decrease or increase or stay the same. Explain the reason for the trend.
2. As you go across a Period, does the CF decrease or increase or stay the same or no specific trend? Explain the reason for the trend.
3a. So if the Periodic Table is a rectangle, what corner would include element whose nucleus have the greatest pull (highest CF) to the valence electrons? Top left, Top right, Bottom left, Bottom right?
3b. What corner would include elements whose nucleus have the WEAKEST pull (LOWEST CF) to valence electrons?
4. As you go down a Group, does Atomic size (also called Atomic size) decrease or increase or stay the same or no specific trend?
4. As you go across Period, does Atomic size
