What are the trends for acidity, basicity, and nucleophilicity on the periodic table? i.e. for increasing acidity would you go up or down, left or right?
acidity increases going across the periodic table from left to right (due to higher electronegativity, weakening the H-A bond) and going down the table from top to bottom (due to larger atoms, making the H-A bond weaker). Basicity and nucleophilicity are the opposite
