EXAM 3 Flashcards
metalloid
physical properties of a metal, chemical properties of a non-metal, preferred for individual elements
Insulator
non-metal
semi-metal
preferred for compounds
Paramagnetic
At least 1 unpaired electron, attracted to external field
Diamagnetic
All electrons paired, repelled by external field
Atomic radius trends
Across: smaller, down: larger, cations: smaller than parent, anions: larger than parent, isoelectronic: smallest has most protons
Ionization energy
Energy required to remove an electron, the more electrons removed, the more energy required
Ionization trend
Across: increase, down: decrease
