This is why Ag exceeds in this category for 2070. 3) The third IE is the energy it takes to remove an electron from a 2+ ion this is why Mg is so large at 7732 and the next highest is 4912. 4) The 1-2 IE works well too seeing that Ag is the biggest since it had such a large jump and that Al and Cu follow that up this doesn’t lead to the best correlation ever though. 5) 2-3 IE has the biggest jump in Mg and Ca which leads to its correlation being all over the place. 6) Electronegativity has the highest correlation out of all the graphs which is why Pb is the highest and Ag shortly follows. Electronegativity goes up and to the right. 7) Covalent Atomic Radius is a measure of the size of an atom that forms part of one covalent bond. Pb and Ca are the highest amounts. And the correlation is - because of it. 8) Ionic Radius as you move down the table the ionic radius increases which is why Pb and Ag are so high and also why this is the second strongest correlation out of the graphs
