Match the trend on the periodic table to its description
Column A
1.
a measure of how strongly atoms attract bonding electrons to themselves:
a measure of how strongly atoms attract bonding electrons to themselves
2.
the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom or molecule:
the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom or molecule
3.
a measure of the size of an atom:
a measure of the size of an atom
Column B
a.atomic radius
b.ionization energy
c.electronegativity
Column A:
1. e) a measure of how strongly atoms attract bonding electrons to themselves
2. c) the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom or molecule
3. a) a measure of the size of an atom
Column B:
a. atomic radius
b. ionization energy
c. electronegativity
1. c. electronegativity
2. b. ionization energy
3. a. atomic radius
To match the trends on the periodic table to their descriptions, we need to consider the information provided in Columns A and B.
1. The description "a measure of how strongly atoms attract bonding electrons to themselves" corresponds to the term "electronegativity" in Column B.
2. The description "the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom or molecule" matches with the term "ionization energy" in Column B.
3. The description "a measure of the size of an atom" aligns with the term "atomic radius" in Column B.
So, the matching of the trends on the periodic table to their descriptions is as follows:
1. Electronegativity - a measure of how strongly atoms attract bonding electrons to themselves
2. Ionization energy - the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom or molecule
3. Atomic radius - a measure of the size of an atom
