                  a. As the atomic radius decreases, there is (more/less) proton/electron attraction, thus ionization energy

                  b. Magnesium has a (larger/smaller) atomic radius than strontium because electrons are added to (the 
            same/higher) energy level(s) as one goes down a group.  
             
                  c. Boron has a very (high/low) fourth ionization energy because the electron being removed is a 
            (valence/core) electron. 
              
                  d. F- has a (smaller/larger) radius than F because in F- there are (more/less) electrons being attracted to the 
            same number of protons in the nucleus.
