Question

Please help me on this

As one moves from left to right across the periodic table, what trend are evident?
A.) Atomic radius increases moving left to right
B.) Nonmetallic character increases moving left to right
C.) Electron affinity increases across the periodic table
D.) Elements change from solids to liquids and then gases.
E.) Most reactive elements on left and least reactive in n the right.

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from left to right across a period, atoms become smaller as the forces of attraction become stronger. This causes the electron to move closer to the nucleus, thus increasing the electron affinity from left to right across a period. Electron affinity increases from left to right within a period.
