Final Exam Review Section 2 Flashcards
Effective Nuclear Energy (Zeff)
Zeff = (# of protons) - (# of core electrons)
Remains constant as we move down in Groups
Increases by 1 as we move L->R in periods
Atomic Radius
As we move left to right Radius decreases
As we move down radius increases
Ionic Radius
Cations: (+) charge - radius is smaller
Anions: (-) charge - radius is larger
Isoelectric Series
series of elements with same # of electrons
O^(2-) F^(1-) Ne Na^(1+) Mg^(2+)
Polarizability
Increases as we move down the table
Decreases as we move left to right on table
Anions are more polarizable than cations
Ionization energy
energy required to remove an electron from atom (g)
Al (g) –> Al+(g) + e-
Ionization Trend
Moving left to right the ionization energy will increase
Moving down the ionization energy will decrease
Ionization exceptions
Group 2 has greater IE than Group 13
Group 15 has greater IE than group 16
Electron Affinity
energy change when electron is added to neutral atom (g)
X (g) + e- –> X- (g)
Electron Affinity Trend
Moving from left to right EA will increase
Moving down the EA will decrease
Electron Affinity exceptions
3p elements have greater EA than 2p elements
In group 2 EA increases as you go down group
In group 15 EA increases as you go down group
Noble gasses have EA that’s equal to zero
Group14 has greater EA than group 15
Electronegativity treng
Increases from left to right on PT
Decreases moving down on PT
F is most EN and Cs is least EN
Hund’s Rule
a. fill subshells in order
b. completely fill subshell before moving to next
c. any single orbital w/ two electrons must spin opposite
d. place one electron in each orbital first all with same spin, then fill orbitals with opposite spin
Hund’s exceptions
Chromium, Molybdenum, Copper, Silver, & Gold
Absorbtion
When an atom absorbs energy it sends electron from a lower subshell to a higher one
-Change in energy will be positive (ENDO)
