Chapter 12, Problem 28CR

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The variation of ionization energies and atomic sizes of elements, both within a vertical group and within a horizontal row of the periodic table should be discussed.

Concept Introduction:

Periodic table is very useful to determine the qualitative properties of elements. Periodic table allows us to get an idea about some physical and chemical properties relative to other elements according to their position on the periodic table. This variation of properties based on the position on the periodic table is known as periodic trends.
