Chapter 7 Flashcards
What is effective nuclear charge?
the attractive force between electron and the nucleus
What does effective nuclear charge depend on?
depends on the magnitude of the nuclear charge and on the average distance between the nucleus and the electron
What happens to the force as the nuclear charge increases?
increases
What happens to the distance as nuclear charge increases?
moves farther from the nucleus
What do electrons in many electron atoms do to each other?
screened from the nucleus by the other electrons
What is the net attraction like for an atom that has more electrons than protons?
the net attraction is samller than it would experience in the absence of other electrons
IS effective nuclear charge greater or smaller than nuclear charge?
smaller
How do you find effective nuclear charge?
Zeff=Z-S
What happens to effective nuclear charge as l increases?
increases
What is the trend for effective nuclear charge?
increases left to right across a period
Why does effective nuclear charge increase across the period?
number of protons increase which causing the energy to increase which means the screening off the electrons are inefftive
What happens to effective nuclear charge going down a column?
effective nuclear charge icnreases slightly
Why does effective nuclear charge increases as we go down a group?
the more diffuse core electron cloud is less table to screen the valence electron from the nuclear charge
What is atomic radius?
an estimate of the size of an atom
What is bonding atomic radius
the radius of an atom by the distances separating it from other atoms to which it is chemically bonded
How do you find bonding atomic radius?
atomic radius x 1/2
What does bonding atomic radii do as you go across a period?
decrease
