ok so when you move across a period, the attraction to electrons is greater, so its oxidising strength is getting bigger....

so why is it then that compounds turn from basic to acidic. where the far right elements always donate electrons, instead of keeping them for themselves??!?!?!?!

acidity isn't donating electrons, it's donating H+ ions ... and vice versa
