Describe the variation of the following properities moving across period 3 from left to right a- atomic radius b- first ionisation energy c-melting point
Added by Joshua P.
Step 1
This is because the number of protons in the nucleus increases, leading to a greater positive charge that pulls the electrons closer to the nucleus. The increased nuclear charge outweighs the effect of added electron shielding, resulting in a smaller atomic size. Show more…

Account for the trends across Period 3 in (a) ionization energy, (b) electron affinity, (c) electronegativity.
Part A: What is the general trend for first ionization potential as you move from left to right across a period? Part B: What is the general trend for first ionization potential as you move from top to bottom down a column? Part C: What is the general trend for atomic radius as you move from left to right across a period?
