Each of the statements below attempts to explain why some periodic property varies predictably among elements in the periodic table. Determine if each statement is true or false.  True False  Within a family, elements with higher atomic numbers pull less strongly on electrons in a bond because the atoms have lower effective nuclear charge.  True False  Within a period, elements with lower atomic numbers pull more strongly on electrons in a bond, because the valance electrons are in higher principal energy levels.  True False  Within a family, elements with lower atomic numbers have higher ionization energy because the atoms have higher effective nuclear charge.

Question

Each of the statements below attempts to explain why some periodic property varies predictably among elements in the periodic table. Determine if each statement is true or false.

 True False  Within a family, elements with higher atomic numbers pull less strongly on electrons in a bond because the atoms have lower effective nuclear charge.
 True False  Within a period, elements with lower atomic numbers pull more strongly on electrons in a bond, because the valance electrons are in higher principal energy levels.
 True False  Within a family, elements with lower atomic numbers have higher ionization energy because the atoms have higher effective nuclear charge.
 True False  Within a period, elements with lower atomic numbers require more energy to remove an electron from the atom, because the atoms have lower effective nuclear charge.
 True False  Within a period, elements with higher atomic numbers have higher ionization energy because the atoms have lower effective nuclear charge.
 True False  Within a family, elements with lower atomic numbers require more energy to remove an electron from the atom, because the valance electrons are in higher principal energy levels.
