Problem
All the elements, on the basis of the long form of the periodic table, can be divided into four blocks: s, p, d, and f. The ionization energies, electron affinities, electronegativities, atomic and ionic radii, and other physical properties usually show a regular pattern of change within a group or along a period, with some irregularities.
On moving from Li to F in the second period, there would be a decrease in:
(1) Non-metallic property
(2) Atomic radius
(3) Ionization potential
(4) Electronegativity
