electron. Why does electronegativity increase across a period? Electronegativity increases across a period because atoms have a higher nuclear charge, attracting electrons more strongly in bonds. What is the trend for electron affinity in the periodic table? Electron affinity tends to beco
p, as added shells increase shielding despite a stronger nuclear charge. Electron Configuration Patterns The arrangement of electrons in shells and subshells shapes periodic properties. For example, half-filled and fully filled
at Are the Key Periodic Trends? Some of the most commonly studied periodic trends include: Atomic radius: the size of an atom 1. Ionization energy: the energy required to remove an electron 2. Electronegativity: an atom’s tendency to attract electrons 3. Electron a
