Periodic Trends Worksheet

The document is a worksheet on periodic trends that contains questions about trends in atomic radius and electronegativity across and down the periodic table. It asks students to identify trends, compare properties of different elements, and complete charts about atomic number, period, group number, valence electrons, and whether elements are metals, nonmetals or metalloids. It also contains multiple choice and short answer questions testing understanding of periodic trends concepts.
