How do elements behave under pressure?

For elements without orbital transfer at high pressure, electronegativity first increases and then decreases, while chemical hardness monotonically decreases as pressure increases. For some active metals, the chemical hardness has a further increase at pressures of the order of tens-hundreds of gigapascals.

Explanation:

periodic trends is an atom that gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase, the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. in general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to right of a certain period.
