Briefly define the following terms, describe the periodic trends, and the reason each trend is what it is.
a. Electronegativity
b. Ionization energy
c. Electron affinity
d. Atomic radius
a. Electronegativity : An atom attracted the bond pair of electrons in a covalent bond is called electronegativity of an element. H-->Cl
b. Ionization energy : The amount of energy is required to remove of an electron from an isolated gas atom is called Ionization energy. M + IP-----> M+ + e-
c. Electron affinity: The amount of enery is released when an electron added to an isolated atom is called electron affinity.
X + e- ------> X- =- EA
d. Atomic radius ; The distance between the center of neuclies and outer most shell is called atomic radius.
