Question

Discuss some of the trends in the periodic table; what they are, how each can be determined, and what each trend tells us about the structure of the atom of an element in relation to its location on the Periodic Table. Please touch on at least 4 of the 6 trends listed: atomic number, atomic mass, Group #, Period #, Oxidation #, and electronegativity.

Answer 1

Answer:Major trends are electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radius, and metallic character. The existence of these trends is due to the similarity in atomic structure of the elements in their group families or periods and because of the periodic nature of elements
