What is the relationship between atomic radius and

ionization energy?
Answer: Inversely proportional
Explanation:

 Ionization energy by definition is the energy required to move an electron from a gaseous
atom (or ion)
 Atomic radius is the measure of the size of an atom. (An estimate of the radius, or distance,
between the nucleus and the electron on the furthest occupied shell.

As for the atom structure, the positive nucleus is in the center, and the negatively charged
electrons are around, so the only force (relatively) acting on the electron that will affect the
ionization energy is the electrostatic force by the nucleus.
Therefore the closer the electron to the nuclear the higher the attraction force, and thus the
higher the energy required to overcome this attraction and remove the electron.
Therefore the smaller the radius the higher the ionization energy, and the bigger the radius
the lower the energy need.

What is the relationship between atomic radius

and electronegativity ?
ANSWER: Electronegativity is inversely proportional to
atomic radius
Explanation :
As we move down along a column in the periodic table the electronegativity decreases. This
implies that as the size of the atom increases the electronegativity decreases.
As we move from the left to the right across a row, the electronegativity increases. So
elements like fluorine and chlorine which lie at the extreme right, just before the noble
gases are the most electronegative.
