18
Q

Ionic radius

A

Occurs when a valence electron is removed from an atom of lithium, a lithium ion is formed, this has an ionic radius smaller than the atomic radius of the neutral lithium atom because there is one fewer electron shell

18
Q

Ionization energy

A

The energy needed to lose an electron

19
Q

electronegativity

A

A measurement from 0-4 that measures the attraction an atom has for electrons

20
Q

S-orbital

A

Spherical in shape There are one s-orbitals in each energy level There are a total of two electrons i each one

21
Q

P-orbital

A

Propeller shaped: There are three different p orbitals, The p-orbitals start in energy level 2 Each p-orbital can hold 2 electrons for a total of six

22
Q

D-orbitals

A

Donut or dumbbell shaped
There are 5 d-orbitals starting with energy level 3
Each can hold 2 electrons for a total of 10

23
Q

F-Orbital

A

Funny shaped
Seven f-orbitals start with energy level 3.
Each can hold 2 electrons for a total of 14.

24
Q

Chemical bonds

A

The forces of attraction holding atoms or ions together

25
Q

Formula unit:

A

The simplest whole number ratio of atoms or ions of the element in an ionic compound

process of chemical analysis in which the quantity of some constituent of a sample is determined by adding to the measured sample an exactly known quantity of another substance with which the desired constituent reacts in a definite, known proportion
