Question

How does atomic radius and ionization energy vary along the period and the
group of the modern periodic table?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Moving left to right within a period or upward within a group, the first ionization energy generally increases. As the atomic radius decreases, it becomes harder to remove an electron that is closer to a more positively charged nucleus. ... They experience a weaker attraction to the positive charge of the nucleus.

Answer 2

${\huge{\underline{\red{Answer:}}}}$

Atomic radius of the elements generally decreases from left to the right in a period because on moving from left to right in a period the nuclear charge gradually increases by one unit and one electron is also added in the electron shell. Due to this the electrons get attracted more and more towards the nucleus consequently the atomic radii decrease.

Atomic radius of the elements increases as we move downwords in a group because on moving down a group there is an increase in principal quantum number and thus, increase in the number of electron shells. Therefore the atomic size is expected to increase.
