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. Within a period, elements with higher atomic numbers have lower electronegativity because the valance electrons are in higher principal energy levels.  Within a family, elements with higher atomic numbers pull more strongly on electrons in a bond, because the atoms have higher effective nuclear charge.   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.  Within a family, elements with higher atomic numbers have lower electronegativity because the atoms have lower effective nuclear charge.  Within a period, elements with lower atomic numbers pull more strongly on electrons in a bond, because the atoms have higher effective nuclear charge.   Within a family, elements with higher 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.

Within a period, elements with higher atomic numbers have lower electronegativity because the valance electrons are in higher principal energy levels.
  Within a family, elements with higher atomic numbers pull more strongly on electrons in a bond, because the atoms have higher effective nuclear charge.

  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.
 

Within a family, elements with higher atomic numbers have lower electronegativity because the atoms have lower effective nuclear charge.

 Within a period, elements with lower atomic numbers pull more strongly on electrons in a bond, because the atoms have higher effective nuclear charge.

  Within a family, elements with higher atomic numbers have higher ionization energy because the atoms have higher effective nuclear charge.
