State true or false for the following: 1. Within a period, elements with higher atomic numbers require more energy to remove an electron from the atom, because the atoms have higher effective nuclear charge. 2. Within a family, elements with higher atomic numbers require more energy to remove an electron from the atom, because the valance electrons are in lower principal energy levels. 3. Within a family, elements with lower atomic numbers have higher electronegativity because the atoms have higher effective nuclear charge.
