Ionization energy- qualitatively defined as the amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron of an isolated gaseous atom to form a cation
Electron affinity- neutral atom's likelihood of gaining an electron
Atomic radius- total distance from an atom’s nucleus to the outermost orbital of electron
Periodic trends all follow a set pattern with a few exceptions. Electron affinity and ionization energy both go up and to the right, while atomic radius goes down and to the left.

If anything, it's going to be memorizing these trends that's going to mess me up on the unit test. Thank you for the practice links!
