The atomic structure and periodic trends guide explores key concepts in atomic properties and bonding patterns.
• Trends in atomic radius across periods show a consistent decrease due to increased nuclear attraction
• Ionisation energy exceptions in periodic table occur notably in groups 2/3 and 5/6
• Melting points across period 2 and 3 in chemistry demonstrate varying patterns based on bonding types
• Successive ionisation energies provide insights into electron configuration and group determination
• Intermolecular forces play a crucial role in determining physical properties
