How do you think the tendency to lose electrons will change in a group?How will this tendency change in a period? |
|
Answer» 1)Thetendency to lose electronsincreases when we move from top to bottom in agroup. This is because the atomic size of the atoms increases doesn't thegroupand the valence shell electronsincreases due to which the nuclear power which theelectron closer to the nucleus decreases. The tendency to lose electrons increases when we move from top to bottom in a group. This is because the atomic size of the atoms increases doesn't the group and the valence shell electrons increases due to which the nuclear power which the electron closer to the nucleus decreases. On the other hand, when we move from left to right in a period the tendency of the atom to lose electron decreases be use the atomic size decreases along the period and the valence shell electrons also decreases due to which nucleus exert stronger force on the valence shell electrons. |
