- Why Francium is the biggest element with the lowest IE and EN
- Why Helium is the smallest element with the highest IE
- Why Noble Gases don't have EN values
- Why Fluorine has the highest EN
-Francium is the biggest element because it has 7 shells. Francium has the lowest IE and EN because large atoms have the lowest IE. In large atoms, the nucleus is least attracted to valence e- is easily lost. Also big atoms have lower EN. in big atoms, the nucleus is farthest from other atoms, so it is hard for valence e- to be gained.
-Helium is the smallest element because it has only one shell. Small atoms have the highest IE.
-Noble gases don't have EN values because they have a full valence shell, so they are very stable (unreactive).
-Fluorine has the highest EN because it is a halogen which means it has seven valence e'-. so it only needs one more.out of the halogens fluorine is the smallest, which means it has a higher EN.
