Trend in polarisability and polarizing power?

[Alvaro Chumpitaz 4D]

Are there any periodic trends for polarisability and polarizing power?

The bigger the atom the more polarizable it is

Those with high polarizing power are usually smaller cations (top left of periodic table) and those with high polarizability are large anions (bottom right of periodic table). I hope this helps!

Polarising power increases with an atom with fewer electrons and is more positively charged (up and left). Polarizability increases with an atom with more electrons and a more negatively charged nucleus (down and right)
