38. Case-study based questions: Read the passage given below and answer the following
questions that follow:
A period is a horizontal row in the periodic table. Although groups generally have more significant
periodic trends, there are regions where horizontal trends are more significant than vertical group
trends, such as the f-block, where the lanthanides and actinides form two substantial horizontal
series of elements.
Elements in the same period show trends in atomic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, and
electronegativity. Moving left to right across a period, atomic radius usually decreases. This
decrease in atomic radius also causes the ionization energy to increase when moving from left to
right across a period. The more tightly bound an element is, the more energy is required to remove
an electron. Metals (left side of a period) generally have a lower electron gain enthalpy than non-
metals (right side of a period), with the exception of the noble gases. Electronegativity and Electron
gain enthalpy shows the same trend across a period.
