How do you think the tendency to lose electrons changes in a
group?
How will this tendency change in a period?
Answers
Explanation:
The tendency to lose electrons increases when we move from top to bottom in a group. This is because the atomic size of the atoms increases doesn't the group and the valence shell electrons increases due to which the nuclear power which the electron closer to the nucleus decreases.
Answer:
Tendency of an element to lose electrons increases when we go down the group. This is because atomic size increases when we go down the group. And force of attraction of nucleus for the valence electrons decreases down the group. This make easier for an element to lose electrons...
Explanation:
a) The tendency to lose electrons decreases from left to right across the periods. This is because the number of valence electrons goes on increasing from left to right across the period. ... So, the nuclear force to hold the valence electrons decreases and the tendency to lose the valence electrons increases.
