Question 31

ionization energy

Answer 31

energy required to remove an electron from the valence shell of a gaseous atom

Trend:
down a group, I.E decreases
across a period, I.E increases

Question 32

electronegativity

Answer 32

tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself

Trend:
Down a group, E.N decreases

Question 33

electron affinity

Answer 33

the change in energy that comes from the addition of an electron to a gaseous atom

EA negative => energy released
EA positive => energy absorbed
