  • A. I-A, V-A and VIll-A
  • B. I-A, IV A and Vl-A
  • C. I-A, II-A and VIl-A
  • D. I-A, IV-A and VIl-A

About Periodic Properties and Trends

Periodic properties arise from electron configuration and effective nuclear charge, producing trends in atomic and ionic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity, metallic character and reactivity. Comparisons run across periods and down groups, with attention to common exceptions. The topic also relates these trends to the behavior of s-block and p-block elements.
