Chapter 6 Relationships and patterns In Chemistry Flashcards
Periods
Go up and down, aka a family
Elements in the same chemical family have…
It he same chemical properties
Why do elements in the same chemical family have similar properties
They have the same number of valence electrons.
The most metallic elements are located….
The most non metallic elements are located….
Bottom left, upper right
Alkali metals
Most reactive metals. Violent with water
Halogens
Most reactive elements
Trend of atomic radii
Elements are larger in the bottom left.
Ionization energy increases
Upper right
Ionization energy
The amount of energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous ion
Electronegativity
The ability of an attracted element to pull elements twoards it.
What affects atomic radii?
The number of valence electrons:makes it larger
The number of protons, makes it smaller
Metal bonded to a nonmetal
Ionic
Non metal to a non metal
Covalent
Metal to a metal
Metallic
How to determine the type of bonds
Take the absolute value of the difference between electronegativities and use the chart
What is the bond chart
0 -non polar covalent
Anything up to .4 -mostly covalent
.4-1.7 polar covalent
More than 1.7 - ionic
