Question

Which of the following statements about periodic trends is true?

O both electronegativity and atomic radius decrease from bottom to top and from left to right on
the periodic table.
O both electronegativity and ionization energy increase from bottom to top and from left to right
on the periodic table.
O both atomic radius and ionization energy increase from bottom to top and from right to left on
the periodic table.
O electronegativity, ionization energy and atomic radius all decrease from bottom to top and from
left to right on the periodic table.

Answer 1

Both electronegativity and atomic radius decrease from bottom to top and from left to right on the periodic table.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement about periodic trends is:

Both electronegativity and atomic radius decrease from bottom to top and from left to right on the periodic table.

Electronegativity refers to the tendency of atoms to attract electrons, while atomic radius is the size of the atom. Both of these properties follow a pattern of decreasing from bottom to top and from left to right on the periodic table.

Answer 2

both electronegativity and ionization energy increase from bottom to top and from left to right

on the periodic table.
