Periodic Properties Worksheet

This document contains a periodic table with some elements represented by letters or symbols instead of names. It asks questions about trends in properties across periods and down groups, including ionization energy, atomic size, electron affinity, and electronegativity. It also asks about the group and period of specific elements and the tendency of some metals to form ions.
