Jee mains inorganic chemistry periodic table all trends
In JEE Mains, the inorganic chemistry part of the periodic table focuses on trends in properties of elements across periods and down groups.
Atomic Radius: It decreases across a period from left to right because the nucleus has more protons, pulling electrons closer. It increases down a group because new electron shells are added.
Ionization Energy: The energy needed to remove an electron increases across a period and decreases down a group.
Electron Affinity: It generally becomes more negative across a period and less negative down a group.
Electronegativity: It increases across a period and decreases down a group.
Metallic Character: Decreases across a period and increases down a group.
Non-metallic Character: Increases across a period and decreases down a group.
Oxidation States: Elements can show different oxidation states depending on their group. Transition metals often have multiple oxidation states.
Reactivity: For metals, reactivity increases down a group (like alkali metals). For non-metals, reactivity decreases down a group (like halogens).
These trends help predict chemical behavior, bonding, and reactions for JEE questions.
