Nuclear charge rises and atomic size falls, so electrons are held more tightly.
Fluorine is the most electronegative element.
More shells are added.
Radius falls across period 3, so Na is the largest.
It measures how readily an atom accepts an electron.
It is defined for a gaseous atom.
Atoms lose electrons more easily as they get larger.
Gaining electrons increases the size.
