Match the trend on the periodic table to its description

Question

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
