Correct vs Incorrect Thinking: Periodic Trends in a Period

Correct vs Incorrect Thinking: Periodic Trends in a Period

The map in words

  • Moving LEFT to RIGHT in a Period
    • What changes?
      • Nuclear Charge INCREASES
        • Stronger pull on electrons
          • WRONG belief: More electrons = Bigger atom
          • CORRECT: Stronger pull = Smaller atom
            • Atomic Size DECREASES
            • Ionisation Energy INCREASES
            • Electron Affinity INCREASES
            • Electronegativity INCREASES
            • Metallic Character DECREASES
            • Non-metallic Character INCREASES
      • Number of Shells - SAME
      • Electrons added to SAME shell
