Theory
Atomic radius: increases when approaching bottom left corner as nuclear charge
decreases due to electron shielding (outer electrons can spread further away as they
are not as heavily bounded to nucleus, plus electron repulsion.
o Cations: radius smaller than parent atom (less electrons)
o Anions: radius larger than parent atom (more electrons)
Ionisation energy: energy required to remove an electron from an atom. Electrons
further away from nucleus (due to shielding and e- repulsion) are less tightly
bounded to its orbital and easier to remove, therefore larger atomic radius = higher
ionisation energy.
Electron affinity: energy required to add an electron to an atom in its gaseous form
to form an anion. Electron charge increases from left to right therefore elements on
the right of the table have a higher chance to attract electrons to form an anion.
The trend of electronegativity is the same as ionisation energy and electron affinity.
