Generation

# Periodic Trends **Atomic radius decreases across a period** (left to right) due to increasing nuclear charge pulling electrons closer, and **increases down a group** due to additional energy levels. **Ionization energy and electronegativity increase across a period** (harder to remove electrons with stronger nuclear attraction) and **decrease down a group** (outer electrons are farther from the nucleus). **Electron affinity** generally follows the same trend as ionization energy. **Key Formula:** Effective nuclear charge: **Z_eff = Z - S**, where Z is the atomic number and S is the shielding constant (number of inner electrons).
