atomic size and ionization energy both increase as you go down a group.

1. true
2. false

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze the trends of atomic size and ionization energy down a group in the periodic table. Atomic size (atomic radius) increases down a group because new electron shells are added, increasing the distance between the nucleus and valence electrons. However, ionization energy (energy required to remove an electron) decreases down a group. This is because as atomic size increases, the valence electrons are farther from the nucleus and experience less effective nuclear charge, making them easier to remove (lower ionization energy). Since ionization energy does not increase down a group, the statement is false.

Answer:

1. False
