Label the metals and the nonmetals. B. For the vertical arrow, indicate the trend for atomic radius (AR), ionization energy (IE) and electron affinity (EA) by writing next to the arrow whether each property increases or decreases. C. Repeat the instructions in B for the horizontal arrow. D. For the diagonal arrow, indicate whether metallic character increases or decreases. E. What conclusion can you draw about the ability of metals to hold on to and attract electrons, as compared to nonmetals?
