Periodic trends

Raise the first 36 elements as bars to compare atomic radius, ionisation enthalpy or electronegativity across periods and down groups.

Open the simulation

What to notice

Noble gases have the highest ionisation enthalpies; alkali metals the lowest. Radius shrinks across a period as nuclear charge rises.

Key relation

Across a period: radius โ†“, ionisation enthalpy โ†‘, electronegativity โ†‘ ; down a group: the reverse

Try this

Why is the ionisation enthalpy of N higher than that of O?
