Question 21

What is ionization energy?

Answer 21

Energy required to remove an electron from an atom or ion (always positive)

Question 22

What is electron affinity?

Answer 22

Energy change that occurs when an atom or ion gains an electrons - Often negative but can be positive

Question 23

Write an equation that describes the 1st ionization energy for Calcium

Answer 23

Ca → Ca⁺ + e^- delta H is always positive

Question 24

Write an equation that describes the 2nd ionization energy for Calcium

Answer 24

Ca⁺ → Ca^{<span>2+</span>} + e^- delta H is always positive

Question 25

Write an equation that describes the 3rd ionization energy for Calcium

Answer 25

Ca^{<span>2+</span>} → Ca^{3<span>+</span>} + e^- delta H is always positive

Question 26

Write an equation that describes the electron affinity of oxygen.

Answer 26

O + e^- → O^- delta H is usually negative but can be positive

Question 27

Write an equation that describes the 2nd electron affinity of oxygen.

Answer 27

O^- + e^- → O^2- delta H is usually negative but can be positive

Question 28

What happens to atomic radius as you move across a period?

Answer 28

Atom gets smaller

Question 29

What happens to ionization energy (IE) as you move across a period?

Answer 29

IE get larger

Question 30

What happens to electron affinity (EA) as you move across a period?

Answer 30

EA get more negative

Question 31

What happens to electron affinity (EA) as you move down a group?

Answer 31

EA get more positive

Question 32

What happens to ionization energy (IE) as you move down a group?

Answer 32

IE goes down

Question 33

What happens to atomic radius as you move down a group?

Answer 33

Atomic radius gets larger

Question 34

A positive ion is (larger / smaller) than its neutral parent atom.

Answer 34

smaller - fewer electron - electron repulsions

Question 35

A negative ion is (larger / smaller) than its neutral parent atom.

Answer 35

larger - more electron - electron repulsions

Question 36

For a pair of isoelectronic ions, the more negative ion is (larger / smaller) than the more positive ion.

Answer 36

larger - more positive ion has a larger nuclear charge so it pulls its electrons in more effectively than the more negative ion which has a smaller nuclear charge.
