Answer:

Oxidation: the loss of electrons

Reduction: the gain of electrons

Oxidation number: the charge based on the number of electrons assigned to an atom as compared to the neutral atom

Explanation:

The oxidation number of a neutral atom is zero. When the atom is oxidized, it loses electrons (which have a negative charge), so the oxidation number goes up. When the atom is reduced, it gains electron (it gains negative charge), so the oxidation number goes down.

Atoms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.  

On left side of periodic table atoms of metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons or we can say metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons so their reactivity increase down the group because of easily  removal of electrons.

On right side of periodic table atoms of nonmetals are more reactive by gaining the electrons. As we move down the group nuclear attraction becomes smaller because of shielding thus electron are less attracted by nucleus and reactivity decreases.
