In the modern periodic table, compare the tendency of the elements to lose electrons while moving (i) down a group, and (ii) from left to right in a period.
Marking-scheme solution
(i)
Down the group the effective nuclear charge experienced by valence electron is decreasing because the outer most electron are further away from the nucleus. Therefore, these can be lost easily.
(ii)
Effective nuclear charge acting on the valence shell electrons increases across a period. The tendency to lose electron will decrease.
