  • Atomic radius: It is the distance from the center of the nucleus to the outermost shell containing electrons.
  • Ionization energy: It is the energy required in removing an electron from an atom.
  • Electron Affinity: It is the energy change of the atom when an electron is added to a neutral gaseous atom to form a negative ion.

  • Ionization energy increases on going from left to right and from down to top.
  • Electron affinity increases on going from left to right and from down to top.
  • The atomic radius increases from right to left and top to bottom.
  • Hence only statement (ii) is true only.
