Expert Answer
Atomic size(Atomic radii)
Across a period
In a period, the size of an atom decreases from left to right. This is because the nuclear charge increases from left to right in the same period, thereby bringing the outermost shell closer to the nucleus.
Down a group
In a group, the size of an atom increases as one proceeds from top to bottom. This is due to the successive addition of shells as we move from one period to the next in a group.
Electronegativity
Across a period
Electronegativity increases from left to right in a period, because the nuclear charge increases due to an increase in the atomic number.
Example: In the second period, electronegativity increases from Lithium to Fluorine.
Down a group
Electronegativity decreases down the group due to an increase in the atomic size overcoming the effect of an increase in the nuclear charge.
