Use the periodic table to answer the following question:What are the periodic trends of ionic radii? Check all that apply.

A
Ionic radii tend to increase down a group.
B
Ionic radii tend to decrease across a period.
C
Anionic radii tend to increase across a period.
D
Cationic radii tend to decrease across a period.
E
Ionic radii increase when switching from cations to anions in a period.

Why are the trends and exceptions to the trends in ionization energy observed? Check all that apply.

A
Ionization energy tends to increase down a group because the electrons get farther away from the nucleus.
B
Ionization energy tends to increase across a period because the nuclear charge increases.
C
Ionization energy tends to increase across a period because electrons are added to the same main energy level.
D
The ionization energies of the elements in Group 16 tend to be slightly smaller than the elements in Group 15 because the fourth electron is added to an unfilled p orbital.
E
The ionization energies of elements in Group 13 tend to be lower than the elements in Group 2 because the full s orbital shields the electron in the p orbital from the nucleus.
