Periodic trends affect bonding,
because of how the elements are arranged on the periodic table. For example
elements can be arranged by their electronegative, electron affinity, atomic
radius, or ionization energy. Electronegative is the atoms ability to attract
other bonded atoms. Electron affinity is an atoms ability to attract another
atom. The atomic radius is the radius of an elements atom. Ionization energy is
the energy it takes to remove an atom from another atom. Other periodic trends
are when the attraction of the atoms for the pair of bonding electrons is
different, this is polar covalent bonds. Properties in compounds are used to
determine the type of bonding and structure, not just the elements being used.
These different properties help group elements to make them either more
available or less available for bonding.
