Question
How does the tendency of elements to gain electrons change as we move from left to right in a period? State the reason of this change.
Solution
Along a period, the efective nuclear charge increases. Thus, the tendency to attract an electron increases. Therefore, the tendency of elements to gain electrons increases as we move from left to right in a period.
