Exam 2 Flashcards
Oxoanions
Based on the name of the element that appears before oxygen in its formula with that elements ending changed into ite or ate
Ate has larger number of oxygen atoms than ite
If an element forms more than two oxoanions,the atom with the greatest number of atoms has prefix per and ends in ate
If it’s lower it has the prefix hypo and ends in ite
Bigger-
Per /ate
Lower-
Hypo/ite
polyatomic ions
consist of more than one atom joined by covalent bonds
Acetate
CH3COO−
Carbonate
CO3 2-
Ionization energy
Energy needed to move one mile of electrons from one mile of gas phase atoms or ions
IE
Ionization energy
Neutral atom ionization energy
IE1
First ionization energy values
IE2
Caution with single chargsecind ionization energy values
Electron affinity
The energy change that occurs when one mile of electrons combine with one mile of atoms or ions in the gas phase
EA values for neutral atom are designated for EA1
EA values for an anion with a single charge are designated for EA2
Why does the first ionization energy generally increase across a period for the main group elements
The charge of the nucleus increases across a row and so there is an increase in the attraction between the nucleus and the surrounding areas
Why are the first ionization energies of some of the group 13 elements smaller than the first ionization energies of the nearby alkali earth metals in the same period
It is easier to remove an electron in a p orbital than an s orbital because it experiences less effective nuclear charge
Why are the first ionization energies of some of the group 16 elements smaller than the first ionization energies of the nearby group 15 elements in the same period
There is an enhanced stability in a half filled set of p orbitals
Which are bigger, anions or cations or neutral atoms
Anions tends to be larger than a neutral atom because of the extra electrons
Actions tend to be smaller than the neutral atom because of missing electrons
Z eff (electron affinity)
Typically decreases down a column and increases across a row
What is ionization energy
The energy it takes to remove an electron from the gaseous element
How do you determine which element has the highest ionization energy?
It has the lowest atomic number (smallest size)
How to determine if compound is made of ions
Consist of actions formed by metallic elements and anions formed from nonmetal
Why is there a trend of decreasing atomic size across a period
There is an increase in effective nuclear charge
