Objectives 1-Describe the periodic trend in atomic radius and relate it to atomic structure 2- Describe the periodic trend in electronegativity and relate it to atomic structure Did you know? There are atoms with no electronegativity because electro negativity refers to the attraction of atoms of electrons in a compound; elements that do not form are assigned no electronegativity values. Atomic Radius ≠ Ionization Energy As you move from left to right on the periodic table‚ the number of
