Exam 2 Flashcards
One half the distance between two nuclei in two adjacent metal atoms
- move across PT, radius decreases
- move down PT, radius increases
Atomic radius
The effect in which electrons can reduce the electrostatic attraction between the protons and the nucleus and other protons
Shielding
Electrons are shielded very effectively by electrons in sub shells closer to the nucleus
- electrons in the same shell are sheiled only a little
- electrons far way do not shield electrons closer to nucleus
Degrees of shielding
Nuclear charge felt by an electron
Electron- sigma
Effective nuclear charge
The radius of an anion/cation
-cations are much smaller than their corresponding atoms
- anions are much larger than their corresponding atom
Ionic radi
The minimum energy required to remove an electron from a gas atom in a ground state
- positive
- a measure of how tightly the electrons are held in an atom
X- x+ + e-
Ionization energy
The energy change that account when an electron is accepted or added by an atom in the gas state to form anion
X- + e- — X-
Halogens want to gain one electron
Large EA means atom wants electrons
Pos or neg
Increases across PT to accept electrons
Electron affinity
The easier it is for the electron to be removed the more metallic it is
Increases down period, decreases across
Metallic character
Elements with low IE (metals)
Elements with high EA (non metals)
Transfer of electrons and spends time around one nucleus
Ionic bonds
Elements with high IE and EA (non metals(
Sharing of electrons and spends time around both nuclei
Covalent bond
Elements with high IE and EA (metals)
Delcoalization of electrons and spend time around network of nuclei
Metallic bond
Covalent bonds between atoms are strong
Weak attraction between molecules, broken during states, low boiling point, do not conduct electricity
Molecular
Contain ions which are strong, electrostatic attraction between ions, these have to be broken up for a state change, high melting and boiling point, does conduct electricity
Ionic
What determines which of the types of bonds occur between atoms, the ability of an atom to attract toward itself the two electrons in a chemical bond
Increases up PT as you go across
Electronegativity
EN of the atoms are the same, so the shared electrons spend equal time around each nucleus
For example Cl2
Non polar covalent
