[Chemistry] Periodic Trends in Properties of Elements
Reading Time: 6 minutes
INTRODUCTION
Periodic trends are specific patterns in the properties of elements which keep on repeating after regular intervals in the periodic table.
Following are the periodic trends in some of the properties of elements;
ATOMIC RADII
WHAT IS ATOMIC RADIUS?
Atomic radius is half of the distance between the nuclei of the two bonded atoms.
MATHEMATICALLY
Atomic radius = d/2
Where,
D is the distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms
