Outer Electron
Determines physical and Chemical properties
Inner Electron
Repulsion and Sheilding
Effective nuclear charge experienced by outer electrons is?
Less
Across a period the amount of shielding
stays the same
Across a period the Nuclear charge
increases
Across a period nuclear charge is
More effective
Down a Group Effective Nuclear charge
Stays the same
Down a Group the nuclear charge
Increases by 8
Down a Group shielding
Increases by 8
Atomic Radius
Half the distance between neighboring atoms
Down a Group Atomic Radius
Increases
Why does Atomic Radius increase down a Group?
Greater # of PELs
Across a Period Atomic Radius
decreases
Why does Atomic Radius increase across a Period?
Greater Nuclear Charge, same PEL
Ionic Radius - Cations are
smaller than it’s atom
Ionic Radius - Anions are
larger than it’s atom
