Atomic Theory Flashcards
Across a period atomic radius……….
Decreases
Why does AR decrease
The core charge increases because the amount of protons increase. The amount of shells stays the same.
Group one is called the
Alkali metals
Group 7 is called the
Halogens
Characteristics of alkali metals
Have one valence electrons so are very reactive
Characteristics of halogens
Want one valence electrons so Are very reactive
Electronegativity is
The ability of an atom to attract electrons
From top to bottom in a group electronegativity
Decrease
From left to right in the periodic table electronegativity
Increases
Group 2 are called
Alkaline earth metals
Alkaline earth metals characteristics
Shiny, Hi reactivity but less than group one, higher melting/boiling points than group one, increases in reactivity down the group
The sub shell order is
S,P,D,F
