16
Q

-Are typical nonmetals
-They have highly negative electron affinities, so they exist as anions in nature
-They react directly with metals to form metal halides

A

Halogens

17
Q

-Helium and neon are chemically inert (They have desired electrons)
-This lack of chemical reactivity is due to the completely filled ns and np subshells
-A condition that often correlates with great stability: Law of Octaves
-They are found as monatomic gases.

A

Noble Gases

18
Q

-Right to Left (Left is more Metallic)
-Top to Bottom (Bottom is more Metallic)

A

Metallic Character (Direction)

19
Q

-Most of the elements in nature are these
-The following are some properties these:
-Shiny luster
-Conduct heat and electricity
-Malleable and ductile
-Solids at room temperature (except mercury)
-Low ionization energies/form cations easily

A

Metals

20
Q

-Are found on the right-hand side of the periodic table.
-Properties of these include the following:
-Solid, liquid, or gas (depends on element)
-Solids are dull, brittle, poor conductors
-Large negative electron affinity, so they form anions readily

A

Non-Metals

21
Q

-Have some characteristics of metals and some of nonmetals
-Several are electrical semiconductors (computer chips)

A

Metalloids

22
Q

-Is the repetitive pattern of property for elements based on the atomic number.
-The following properties are discussed in this unit:
-Sizes of atoms and ions
-Ionization energy
-Electron affinity
-Electronegativity

A

Periodicity

23
Q
  • is a fundamental property that leads to many of the trends
    -Many properties of atoms depend on electron configuration and on how strongly the outer electrons in the atoms are attracted to the nucleus
    -The attractive force between an electron and the nucleus depends on the magnitude of the nuclear charge
    -And on the average distance between the nucleus and the electron
A

Effective nuclear charge

24
Q
  • It is tempting to think of atoms as hard, spherical objects
    -According to the quantum- mechanical model,
    -However, atoms do not have sharply defined boundaries at which the electron distribution becomes zero
    -Hence, we define the size of an atom in terms of its …
    -Which is one-half the distance between the two nuclei in two adjacent metal atoms or in a diatomic molecule
A

Atomic Radius

25
Q

-Is the radius of a cation or an anion

A

Ionic Radius

26
Q

-Are smaller than their parent atoms
-Removing one or more electrons from an atom reduces electron-electron repulsion but the nuclear charge remains the same
-So the electron cloud shrinks

A

Cations

27
Q

-Are larger than their parent atoms
-Because the nuclear charge remains the same but the repulsion resulting from the additional electron(s) enlarges the domain of the electron cloud

A

Anions

28
Q

-Group of ions all containing the same number of electrons in an ….,
-The more positive the charge, the smaller the ion

A

Isoelectric Series

29
Q

-Is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from the ground state of a gaseous atom or ion
-The first ionization energy is the energy required to remove the first electron
-The second ionization energy is the energy required to remove the second electron
-The higher the ionization energy, the more difficult it is to remove an electron

A

Ionization Energy

30
Q

-Is the energy required to remove the first electron

A

First Ionization Energy

31
Q

-Is the energy required to remove the second electron

A

Second Ionization Energy

32
Q

-Have higher ionization energy values

A

Smaller Atoms

33
Q

-Measures the energy change when an atom gains an electron
-Measures the attraction, or affinity
-Of the atom for the added electron
-For most elements, it is negative in value
-Indicates that an atom easily accepts electrons

A

Electron Affinity

34
Q

-Is the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself
-Elements with higher ……. have a greater tendency to attract electrons than do elements with low …….

-Noble gases
