1 Periodic Table Trends Practice Question

Each rectangle represents the Periodic Table. Label one rectangle “Atomic Radii”, one rectangle “Ionic Radii”, one rectangle “Electronegativity/Electron Affinity”, and one rectangle “Ionization Energy”. Draw TWO arrows on each labeled indicating the trends.

**Indicate if the arrow is increasing or decreasing.

Example Increasing

Valance Electrons

Match each of the four trends listed to its description by writing the correct letter of the description next to the trend’s name.
