Question

Match the trend on the periodic table to its description
trends:
a.electronegativity
b.ionization energy
c.atomic radius
definitions:
1. a measure of how strongly atoms attract bonding electrons to themselves
2. the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom or molecule
3. a measure of the size of an atom

Answer 1

Here are the matches between the trends and their definitions:

a. **electronegativity** - **1. a measure of how strongly atoms attract bonding electrons to themselves**
b. **ionization energy** - **2. the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom or molecule**
c. **atomic radius** - **3. a measure of the size of an atom**
