"Ionization energy is the opposite of atomic radius"
this doesn't seem right to me. if it is true it should be explainerd--87.64.10.125 17:40, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

having read it again, it seems whoever wrote it meant "the trend of Ionization energy is the opposite of the trend atomic radius..." maybe?--87.64.10.125 17:54, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Common nonpolar bonds
isn't C-H slightly polar, since C has electronegativity 2.5 and H has 2.1, negative towards carbon?--87.64.10.125 17:54, 6 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Carbon has an electronegativity of 2.55 and Hydrogen 2.20, giving them a difference of 0.35, which is non-polar. I've updated the article to resolve this confusion. Subwindow (talk)
