Electronegativty: Trends Among Groups And Periods Of The Periodic Table

Question 1

When atoms bond to form molecules what happens?

Answer 1

They share there electrons

Question 2

What do you call an ability that an atom has to attract other electrons?

Answer 2

Electronegativity

Question 3

What happens when an atom has a high electronegativity

And

A low electronegativity

Answer 3

High electronegativity will attract more electrons and may even steal the electron

Low electronegativity will share the electron and may even loose it!

Question 4

So what makes an atom more electronegative than another?

Answer 4

It’s atomic structure

Less orbitals attract more easily

Atoms with more orbitals give loose more

Aka this is going down the group

Question 5

Are protons attracted to electrons

Answer 5

Yes

Question 6

Bottom of a group has______ attracting electrons

Answer 6

More difficulty but loose electrons easy

Question 7

Across a period valence electrons will be in the same orbital or energy level however _______ increase as you move across the table which _______ the size of the atom. Which tends to _____ in electrons . Except noble gases because they’re already full

Answer 7

Protons
Reduces
Attract/ pull

Question 8

Which group has the lowest electronegativity?

Answer 8

Noble gases
