About this document
Understanding Periodic Trends in Chemistry by Fatimah Agboola is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The periodic table organizes elements based on increasing atomic number. Elements with similar properties occur periodically as atomic number increases. The periodic law states that properties are periodic functions of atomic number. Major periodic trends include atomic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity, which vary predictably down groups and across periods as a result of changes in nuclear charge, electron shielding, and distance of valence electrons from the nucleus.
