Octet Rule Flashcards
refers to the energy required to remove an electron from the valence shell of an atom
Ionization Energy
refers to the capacity of a molecule to resist chemical change
Stability
refers to the tendency of an atom to accept an electron
Electron Affinity
what ion is formed when electrons are added to an atom
Anion
Who formulated the lewis electron dot diagrams to represent chemical bonding
Gilbert Newton Lewis
What rule states that atoms from main group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell
Octet Rule
As you go from left to right of the periodic table what happens to the atomic radius of the atom
Decreasing
As you go from left to right of the periodic table what happens to the electronegativity of the atom
Increasing
What ion is formed when electrons are removed from an atom
Cation
What refers to the outermost electrons that participate in the bonding of atoms
Valence electrons
Give the formula of the resonance charge
Valence electron minus non-bonding minus bonding divided by 2
