115
Q

A

Half the distance between the nuclei of two atoms of the same element that are joined together by a single covalent bond

116
Q

Atomic radius across a period

A

Decreases

117
Q

Atomic radius down a group

A

Increases

118
Q

Why does atomic radius decrease across a period

A

Increasing nuclear charge pulls outer electrons in closer to nucleus

119
Q

Reasons for atomic radius increasing going down a group

A
Screening effect (more electrons)
Just bigger (more electrons)
(There is more nuclear charge but cancelled out by^^)
120
Q

Why are group 1 more reactive going down the group (lose electrons when reacting) (2)

A

Atomic radius increases (further away from pull of nucleus)

Increased screening

121
Q

Why are group 7 elements live reactive doing down the group (gain electrons when reacting )

A

Atomic radius increases, new electrons can’t get close to nucleus to be held tightly
Extra screening makes it more difficult to gain electrons

Number if protons (+) pulling in electrons (-) towards the nucleus
