About this document
Periodic Table Trends and Classifications by Jose Gilberto De Leon is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The periodic table organizes the elements based on their atomic structure and properties. Key trends across periods include increasing atomic number, decreasing atomic radius, and increasing ionization energy and electronegativity from left to right as the nuclear charge increases and shielding remains constant. Down groups, atomic radius, ionic size, and electronegativity decrease while ionization energy increases as the nuclear charge is held constant but additional electron shells provide more shielding.
