Periodicity

006 - Periodicity

In this video Paul Andersen explains why atoms in the periodic table show trends in ionization energy, atomic radii, electronegativity and charge. All of these trends are explained through Coulomb's Law. A brief description of Dmitri Mendeleev and the power of predictability are included.
