*The [[Electrical Charge|charge]] on the [[Atomic Nucleus|atomic nucleus]] increases as you move go across the [[period]] but the [[electron]] shielding caused by the two inner [[electron]]s remains the same. This causes the [[electron]]s to experience a greater [[force]] of [[attraction]] as you move along the [[period]], making it easier for an [[atom]]s to gain more [[electron]]s to become [[ion]]s.
