Simplifying Periodic Table Trends
Remember when you are on Test Day to write this little table on your first sheet of paper on the Chem/Phys Section. You can use it as a quick reference for any periodic trend questions that may come up.
Ultimately there are 8 trends you need to remember
TOP TO BOTTOM:
-Atomic radius goes up
-Ionization energy goes down
-Electron Affinity goes down
Electronegativity goes down
LEFT TO RIGHT:
-Atomic radius goes down
-Ionization energy goes up
-Electron Affinity goes up
-Electronegativity goes up
