if we think about electronegativity as a periodic trend we can just draw our nice periodic table here, and let's separate it into quadrants.

如果我们来思考一下电负性的周期性规律,我们可以把我们漂亮的周期表画在这，然后把它分成四个象限。

So you should be able to look at your periodic table and see this, or also I've written the trend here.

大家应该能够通过查周期表，或者通过看我写在这里的趋势看出来。

And what we've been talking about with all of these properties are, of course, how can we figure out what that is for a certain atom by looking at the periodic table, so we want to think about the periodic trend for atomic radius.

对于我们讲过的这些性质，我们所讨论的一直都是,当然是，我们如何能够判断某一个原子的这些性质,通过观察周期表，因此我们需要思考一下原子半径的周期性规律。
