📖 About This Experiment
Explore the periodic table of elements in 3D and visualize how atomic properties change across periods and down groups. Understand trends in atomic radius, electronegativity, and ionization energy that help predict chemical behavior.
💡 Key Concepts
- •Atomic Radius: Decreases across period, increases down group
- •Electronegativity: Increases across period, decreases down group
- •Ionization Energy: Increases across period, decreases down group
- •Effective Nuclear Charge: Attractive force from nucleus on electrons
- •Shielding Effect: Inner electrons block outer electrons from nucleus
