Periodic Trends
Learning outcomes - after studying this topic, you should be able to:
- recognize trends in the Periodic Table and the correlation between the trends in atomic radii, ionization energies and electronegativity
- explain the origin of these trends in terms of the electronic structure of the atoms
- predict reactivity based on these trends, particularly how the acid, base or amphoteric character of an element's oxide and hydroxide are related to its position in the Periodic Table
