Consider the following table showing the properties of four elements in the same period of the periodic table: Element | Atomic Radius (pm) | Electronegativity Element 1 | 186 | 0.9 Element 2 | 160 | 1.2 Element 3 | 143 | 1.5 Element 4 | 118 | 2.5 Based on these trends, which of the following is a valid conclusion about Element 4 compared to Element 1?
- Element 4 has a higher nuclear charge, attracting its valence electrons more strongly.
- Element 4 has more electron shells, resulting in a significantly greater atomic radius.
- Element 4 has a lower nuclear charge, which allows its atomic radius to expand further.
- Element 4 is more likely to lose electrons and form positive ions in chemical reactions.
