Chemistry 403: Trends in the Periodic Table

Season 1 Episode 403 | 26m 9s

Trends on the Periodic Table: Students learn to describe the pattern in atomic number, atomic mass, atomic radius, ionization energy, and electron affinity as they look across a period and down a family of the periodic table. They then learn to predict the charge an atom of an element will have when it forms an ion based on the element’s location on the periodic table.
