Chemistry Unit 6 Flashcards
Coulomb’s Law
When attraction goes up, then magnitude goes up and distance^2 goes down.
What is atomic radii?
Distance from the center of the nucleus to the boundary of the e- cloud.
Atomic radii group trend?
Larger, new energy levels of electrons. d^2 goes up, so attraction goes down. More e- shielding effect also weakening attraction of p+/ve- and increasing distance.
Atomic radii period trend?
Smaller, stronger positive to negative attraction from an increase in p+/ve-. Magnitude goes up, so attraction goes up (d^2 goes down).
Shielding Effect
The inner (core) electrons cause an interference and block the nucleus (p+) from the outer ve-. The more e-=more shielding effect.
What is first ionization energy?
The energy required to remove the most loosely held electron.
Ionization energy group trend?
Decreases, added energy level weakens attraction between p=/ve-. More Shielding effect. Easier to remove ve-. Coulombs: d^2 goes up, so attraction goes down.
Ionization energy period trend?
Increases, attraction between p+/ve- is greater, more protons(nuclear charge). Harder to remove e-. Coulombs: mag goes up, attraction goes up
Electronegativity
Attraction an atom has for a bonding pair of electrons (attract e- towards itself).
Electronegativity group trend?
Decreases, less attraction due to e- being further from nucleus. More shielding effect (bigger size). Coulombs: d^2 goes up, so attract goes down
Electronegativity period trend?
Increases, added p+/e- so greater attraction for e- (smaller size). Coulombs: magnitude goes up, attraction goes up.
What is reactivity?
How completely and easily an atom bonds to another (lose/gain/share).
Reactivity METALS group trend?
Increases, larger it is easier to lose e- due to distance and shielding effect.
Reactivity METALS period trend?
Decreases, smaller so hold on to e- is stronger due to more p+ and ve-.
Coulombs: magnitude goes up, attraction goes up.
Reactivity NONMETALS group trend?
Decreases, larger so less attraction to (others) ve-. Coulombs: magnitude goes up, attraction goes up.
Reactivity NONMETALS period trend?
Increases, smaller so more attraction to ve- and others. Coulombs: magnitude goes up, attract goes up.
Ionic size as compared to atom; which ANIONS and what is their trend?
(-), gained e- (not p+). NONMETALS larger because gained e-, e- repel other e- and expand. More (-) = larger anion. Cl is smaller and Cl^- is larger.
