- BeCl2
* *central atom has 2 sigma bonds - BF3
* *central atom has 3 sigma bonds
What compound have a weird octet?
NO2
**due to lone electron
Class of a linear geometry:

Period(s) […] can form more than four bonds.
3-6
Formal charge:
valence - sticks - dots
As you go L to R across the periodic table, the atomic size…
decreases
**nucleus to electron attraction (Zeff)
As you go down the periodic table, the atomic size…
increases
**adding more orbitals
Down a group […] dominates due to […].
Across a period […] dominates because […] remains the same and electrons pull closer to […]..
n (quantum number); electron shielding;
Zeff (effective nuclear charge); electron shielding; the nucleus
What is electron shielding? How does this affect the periodic trend?
inner layers of electrons shield the outer electrons
Down a transition series, atomic size […] from Period 4 to 5 and […] from 5 to 6.
increases slightly; none
Across a transition series, atomic size […] through the first two or three elements.
shrinks
