On the periodic table, does ATOMIC SIZE increase or decrease...
going down the periodic table?
why?
going across the periodic table?
Why?
Definition
increase
The number of energy levels increases as you move down a group as the number of electrons increases. Each subsequent energy level is further from the nucleus than the last.
decrease
The concentration of more protons in the nucleus creates a "higher effective nuclear charge." In other words, there is a stronger force of attraction pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus resulting in a smaller atomic radius.
Term
On the periodic table, does IONIZATION ENERGY increase or decrease...
going down the periodic table?
going across the periodic table?
Why?
Definition
decrease
Electrons are further from the nucleus and thus easier to remove the outermost one.
increase
As you move across a period, the atomic radius decreases, that is, the atom is smaller. The outer electrons are closer to the nucleus and more strongly attracted to the center. Therefore, it becomes more difficult to remove the outermost electron.

•The shielding effect describes the decrease in attraction between an electron and the nucleus in any atom with more than one electron shell.
•Shielding electrons are the electrons in the energy levels between the nucleus and the valence electrons. They are called "shielding" electrons because they "shield" the valence electrons from the force of attraction exerted by the positive charge in the nucleus.
