Periodic properties of the elements in the modern table: Overview

Through this topic, we will learn how to analyse the properties of elements in groups and periods. It demonstrates the valency and atomic radius of an element. Ionization energy is also illustrated here with the aid of activities.

Important Questions on Periodic properties of the elements in the modern table

IMPORTANT

Give the relation between electronegativity, ionisation energy and electron affinity according to Mulliken.

EASY
IMPORTANT

The Mulliken scale simply considers the electronegativity of an element as the sum of the ionisation potential and the electron affinity of that element.

EASY
IMPORTANT

The metallic radius is half of the total distance between the nuclei of two adjacent atoms in a _____.

EASY
IMPORTANT

Mark the following statement as true or false.

Metallic radii increases across the period due to an increase in the effective nuclear charge.
