13
Q

highest and lowest IE

why?

A

highest: group 18
because it has a full octet and is already stable so more energy is required to break up the octet

lowest: group 1
because the elements become more stable by losing an electron

14
Q

IE trend down a group

why?

A

as you move down a group, IE decreases

because the electron being removed is further from the positive nucleus

16
Q

second IE equation

A

A+ + energy —> e- + A2+

17
Q

highest and lowest second IE

why?

A

highest: group 1
because they have an octet of electrons after leaving 1e-

lowest: group 2
because they obtain an octet by losing 2e-

18
Q

third ionization energy

A

the energy required to remove the third electron from an atom

19
Q

third IE equation

A

A2+ + energy —> e- + A3+

20
Q

highest and lowest third IE

why?

A

highest: group 2
because they have an octet after losing 2e-

lowest: group 3
because they achieve an octet by losing 3e-

21
Q

electron affinity

A

the energy charge that occurs when an atom gains an electron

22
Q

positive EA

A

energy is required for an atom to gain the electron

23
Q

negative EA

A

energy is released as the atom gains the electron

24
Q

positive EA equation

A

A + e- + energy—> A-

25
Q

negative EA equation

A

A + e- —> A- + energy

26
Q

highest positive EA

why?

A

group 18

because they have an octet of electrons

27
Q

highest negative EA

why?

A

group 17

because they become more stable by gaining 1e-

28
Q

electronegativity

A

a measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons

29
Q

highest and lowest EN

why?

A

highest: group 17
because they become more stable by gaining electrons

lowest: group 1
because they become more stable by losing electrons

30
Q

noble gases (group 18) EN

A

do not have EN values because they do not form compounds

31
Q

atomic radius trend down a group

why?

A

as you move down a group, the atomic radius increases

because new energy levels of electrons are added

32
Q

atomic radius trend across a group

why?

A

as you move across a group, the atomic radius decreases
because no new energy levels are added, the nuclear charge increases, and electrons are being pulled closer to the nucleus

33
Q

cation

A

positive ion

34
Q

anion

A

negative ion

35
Q

cation size compared to neutral atom

why?

A

always smaller than their neutral atoms

because the same nuclear charge is exerted on fewer electrons

36
Q

anion size compared to neutral atom

why?

A

always larger than their neutral atoms

because the same nuclear charge is exerted on more electrons
