The electron affinity increases in going down a group.

Increase in atomic size down the group is due to

Assertion :- Metallic character increases on going down the group Reason :- I.E. decreases on going down the group

The atomic radius increases as we move down a group because

Assertion : The electron gain enthalpy of chlorine is less negative than that of fluorine. Reason : The fluorine atom is much smaller in size than that of chlorine.

As we move down the group, the atomic size increases or decreases ?

The periodicity is related to the electronic configuration. That is, all chemical and phyical properties are a manifestation of the electronic configurfation of the elements. The atomic and ionic radii generally decrease in a preiod from left or right. As a consequence , the ionisation enthalpies generally increase and electron gain enthalpies become more negative across a period. In other words, the ionisation enthalpy of the extreme left element in a period is the least and the electron left element on the extreme right is the highest negative. This results into high chemical reactivity at two extgremes and the lowest in the centre. Similarly down the group, the increase in atomic and ionic radii result in gradual decrease (with excetption in some third period elements) in electron gain enthalpies in the case of main group elements . These properties can be related with the (i) reducing and oxidising behacviour of the elements (ii) metallic and no-metallic charcter of element (iii) acidic, basic , amphoteric and neutral character of the oxides of the elements. Among Al_(2)O_(3), SiO_(2),P_(2)O_(3) and SO_(2) the correct order of acid strenght is :
