Group 18 Trends• Atomic radii: Atomic radius decreases from left to right within a period because of

effective nuclear charge. As you move from left to right in a period, you are still in the same energy level, which means the electron is still the same distance from the nucleus.

• Ionic Radii: The Noble Gases do not have an ionic radius. This is because they don't form ions.

• Reactivity: Noble Gases are extremely unreactive. This is because non-metals gain electrons. Since the noble gases do not need to gain any electrons because of their "stable octet", they don't react often.

• Electronegativity: Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to gain an electron. Since electronegativity measures the amount of attraction between an atom and an electron, noble gases do not have electronegativity.

• Ionization Energy: Noble Gases have a very stable electron configuration, therefore, they have the highest amount of ionization energy within their periods. It decreases down a family because electrons farther from the nucleus are easier to remove.

• Valence Electrons: The noble gases contain eight valence electrons.

INTERESTING FACT: Most Noble Gases are used for lighting around the world.

Period 6 Trends• Atomic radii: distance from nucleus to boundary of outermost electron level general

decrease from Cesium Radon • Ionic radii: distance of nucleus to outermost electron level of ions; when an atom is an

anion, the electrons are more attached to the nucleus making the atom smaller, and a cation makes the electrons repel against the nucleus’ charge and make the atom bigger; general decrease from Cesium Radon

• Reactivity: outer electron levels try to gain electrons to fill them to the highest capacity and be “stable,” like the Noble Gases; metals have the most “room” for more electrons, while non-metals and Noble Gases do not. Radon is the most unreactive element in Period 6 because its outer level is full; increase from Cesium Radon

• Electronegativity: an ability of an atom to gain electrons; high electronegativity means the atom attracts many electrons, therefore forming a negative ion; metals on the left side of the table do not have the energy levels filled completely, attracting electrons while the non-metals and noble gases are almost completely/completely filled; general increase from Cesium (least electronegative element) Radon

• Ionization Energy: energy needed to remove 1+ electrons from an ion; alkali metals only have 1 valence electron so it’s hard to give them up, while noble gases have closed shells so they give no electrons up; general increase from Cesium Radon

• Valence Electrons: general increase from Cesium Radon
