H Chemistry: Unit 4 Flashcards
periodicity
study of the trends on the periodic table
octet rule
every element on the periodic table wants 8 electrons in their highest energy level(noble gas configuration) except hydrogen and helium
oxidation number
charge an atom has when it acquires an octet; the oxidation number for transitional elements vary
metals
solids and good conductors of heat and electricity
non-metals
gases and poor conductors of heat and eletricity
metalloid
moderate conductors of heat and electricity
group 1 elements
alkali metals
group 2 elements
alkaline earth metals
group 6 elements
chalcogens
group 7 elements
halogens
group 8 elements
noble gases
atomic radius
half the distance between the nuclei of 2 like atoms; measured in angstroms
atomic radius trend
increases as you move down and left
ionization energy
energy required to remove an electron from an atom; measured in volts
ionization energy trend
increases as you move up and right
electronegativity
ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself; measured in Paulings’
electronegativity trend
increases as you move up and right
shielding effect
electrons closer to the nucleus shield the outer electrons from the pull of the nucleus; increases with the number of electrons
shielding effect trend
increases as you move down and right
ionic radius
size of an atom compared to the atomic radius when a atom gains or loses electrons
chemical bond
bond between atoms
ionic bond
electrostatic force between atoms(cation and anion); formula unit or salt
cation
positive
anion
negative
properties of an ionic compound
1.form a crystal lattice
2.high melting and boiling points
3.salts are solid, hard, and brittle
4.form an electrolyte
lattice energy
energy required to remove an ion from a crystal
