- As you move down group 1, the no of energy levels increases making electrons in the outermost energy level to become
loosely attracted to the nucleus hence easily host.
- In group (VII) elements reacts by gaining electrons. As an electron is entering the outermost energy level, it is repelled
?½ by the electrons already there. As we go down the group, the energy levels increase hence repulsion/shielding
effect increases
