Question

1. State the general period and group trends among

main-group elements with respect to each of the
following properties:
a. atomic radii
b. first ionization energy
c. electron affinity
d. ionic radii
e. electronegativity
2. a. In general, how do the periodic properties of
the d-block elements compare with those of
the main-group elements?
b. Explain the comparison made in (a).​​
3. For each main-group element, what is the
relationship between its group number and
the number of valence electrons that the group
members have?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so I believe:

a. increase in atomic radii going down a group and decrease going across a period.

b. increase in IE1 going across a period and up a group. the highest IE1 elements are like He, Ne, F and first ionization energy decreases moving further away from those elements moving south west on the periodic table.

c. electron affinity increases moving across a period left to right.

d. ionic radii increases going down a group and decreases going across a period left to right

e. electronegativity increases across a period but decreases down a group. (opposite for electropositivity)

what is meant by the d-block elements? are you referring to the spdf location?
