| Explain why atomic radius of an atom gets smaller as you move from left to right across a period (possible terms to use: shielding, coulombic forces of attraction and nuclear charge) | Nuclear charge increases --> pulling e- (electrons) in closer |
| Explain why ionization energy decreases as you move from top to bottom down a group (possible terms to use: shielding, coulombic forces of attraction and nuclear charge) | More shielding (inner e- blocking + nucleus from outer e-) shielding = large atoms blocking = makes it easier to remove outer e- ---> meaning to lower i.e. |
| Explain what is meant by "Coulombic forces of attraction" | + and - attract each other, but the greater distance between the 2 ---> the weaker the attraction |

| Atomic radii generally ________________as you move from left to right in a given period because there is an increase in the nuclear charge while the number of inner electrons, and hence the shielding effect, remains constant. | Decrease |
| Atomic radii generally _________________ within a given group because the outer electrons are farther from the nucleus as you go down the group. | Increase |
