2. Changes of elements when across the period


atomic size decreases
melting point increase then decreases
electronegativity increases
from metals to non-metals
Chemical properties from basic to acidic.
3. Why the atomic size (atomic radius) decreases across the period?
Proton numbers increase.
The numbers of electrons in shells increase.
The positive charges in nucleus increase.
The force of attraction from nucleus towards all the electrons in the shell increases.
Thus the atomic size increase.
