The development of the periodic table and the elucidation of the
trends and properties of its elements spanned many decades. Now we
can use it to predict the properties and reactivity of elements
based only on their location in the periodic table. Let's practice
some applications of this.
A) Describe the size difference between chlorine and fluorine.
Explain why they are different.
B) If an atom has a high ionization energy(IE), like chlorine,
what does that mean electronically, i.e., why...
