Answer:

Chemical reactivity increases down a group and decreases from left to right of a period.

Explanation:

The higher the ionization energy is, the lower the reactivity is. Since the ionization energy is highest in the top right corner of the periodic table, we can assume that the most reactive elements are in the opposite bottom left corner. This is because the electrons that react are farther away from the nucleus thus experience less attraction to the nucleus (called nuclear shielding). Therefore their electrons are more easily removed than elements that don't ecperience nuclear shielding.

What is the periodic trend in atomic size and electronegativity as you move from left to right on the?

Darya [45]

As you move from left to right on the periodic table, atomic size and electronegativity increase.

(Ionization energy increases from left to right on the periodic table, and electronegativity relates to ionization energy in that the higher the ionization energy, the higher the electronegativity.)

(Atomic radius increases from left to right on the periodic table due to the fact that electrons are gradually being added from left to right, meaning the amount of protons in the nucleus are increasing in order to keep the atom neutral, therefore atomic size/radius increases.)
