A super, duper easy way to remember these trends is this:
All trends increase up and to the right except for metallic character and atomic radius.
These 2 trends increase down and to the left.
Here's a picture to more clearly see the trends:

Periodic Trends
The last thing we learned in this unit was periodic trends. These trends include: electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radius, melting point, and metallic character.

Thanks Marie for this post! I agree that that is the easiest way to remember these trends, as that is the way that I memorized them for the test. I also enjoyed how you provided a visual to show all the trends in comparison to one another. Maybe next time include a link to further explain the concept. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Marie, you were able to sum up an entire days worth of lecture in just a small summary of information. I wish I could've had these tips for the test, but like Holly said thanks for this post.
