Use the periodic table to compare the sizes of ionic radii with the corresponding atomic radii or other ionic radii. Choose from smaller and larger in the blanks below: A sodium cation is than a sodium atom.

Answers:
than a sodium atom.:smaller
than a phosphorus atom.:larger

Use the periodic table to answer the following question:What are the periodic trends of ionic radii? Check all that apply.

A
Ionic radii tend to increase down a group.
B
Ionic radii tend to decrease across a period.
C
Anionic radii tend to increase across a period.
D
Cationic radii tend to decrease across a period.
E
Ionic radii increase when switching from cations to anions in a period.

Why are the trends and exceptions to the trends in ionization energy observed? Check all that apply.

A
Ionization energy tends to increase down a group because the electrons get farther away from the nucleus.
B
Ionization energy tends to increase across a period because the nuclear charge increases.
C
Ionization energy tends to increase across a period because electrons are added to the same main energy level.
D
The ionization energies of the elements in Group 16 tend to be slightly smaller than the elements in Group 15 because the fourth electron is added to an unfilled p orbital.
E
The ionization energies of elements in Group 13 tend to be lower than the elements in Group 2 because the full s orbital shields the electron in the p orbital from the nucleus.

What are the trends and exceptions to the trends in electron affinity? Check all that apply.

A
The electron affinities of the elements in Group 17 are larger (more negative) than the elements in Group 1.
B
Electron affinities increase (become more negative) down a group.
C
Elements in Group 14 have larger (more negative) electron affinities than elements in Group 15.
D
Elements in Group 2 have very large electron affinities.
