Why Big Fr and Hungry F

Why Francium is the biggest element with the lowest IE and EN?
  • It has the most number of shells. It dosen't take much energy to remove an electron.
 Why Helium is the smallest element with the highest IE?
  • He has only one shell with two protons in the nucleus that takes alot of energy to remove electrons.
 Why Noble Gases don't have EN values?

  • Noble gases have a full valence shell and have no tendency to gain electrons.
Why Fluorine has the highest EN
  • That means fluorine has only nine electrons flying around in orbitals while iodine has 53 of them.
