ANS: First ionization energies decrease from top to bottom within a group and increase across a period from left to right. For example, the first ionization energy of rubidium is less than that of lithium. The first ionization energy of iodine is much greater than that of lithium. 49. ANS: When an electron is added to an atom, the attraction of the nucleus for any one electron decreases and the size of the ion s radius increases. When an electron is removed from an atom, there is an increase in the nuclear attraction experienced by the remaining electrons. Consequently, the remaining electrons are drawn closer to the nucleus. 50. ANS: Electronegativity values decrease from top to bottom within a group, and from right to left across a period. For example, rubidium is less electronegative than lithium. Lithium is less electronegative than fluorine. 2
