How does the size of a metal atom compare to its positive ion? Its negative ion?*
Positive (Cation)- Bigger
Negative (Anion)- Smaller
Ionization energy
Measures the energy required to remove an outermost electron
Magnesium is in Group 2 (2A) and Period 3 of the periodic table, and radium is in Group 2 (2A) and Period 7. Which has the smaller ionization energy?
Radium
Which property measures the energy released when an electron joins an atom?
a. atomic size
b. ionic size
c. ionization energy
d. electron affinity
e. electronegativity
Electron affinity
Property that measures the attraction of bonded atoms to electrons
Electronegativity
A sample of an unidentified element has a bright luster, conducts electricity well, and is highly reactive. It is most likely what
Alkali metals
Semiconductors can also be called __________. What do they do?
Metalloids. Conduct electricity but only under certain conditions
The halogens form __________ when they combine with metals and __________ when they combine with hydrogen
Salts/acids
What are examples of Halogens?.
Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Astatine,
Who left blanks on his periodic table?
Mendeleev
Atomic radii does it increase or decrease as you go from left to right on the periodic table?
Why?
Decreases because more protons means more attraction for electrons. Results in shrinking of atomic radius
