Periodic Table Trends and Compounds Study Guide Unit 2 Flashcards
Alkali Metals
Group 1A (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) except hydrogen
Alkaline Earth Metals
Group 2A (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra)
Halogen
Group 7A highly Reactive
Noble Gases
Group 8A Highly Unreactive Group
Transition Metals
Group B (in the middle)
Inner Transition Metals
Group B
ionization energy
The energy required to make an ion by removing an electron
Cation
Atom or group of atoms that has a positive charge
Anion
Atom or group of atoms that has a negative charge
Electronegativity
The tendency of atoms of the element to attract electrons
Molecule
Combination of a nonmetal and nonmetal NEED PREFIX
Formula Unit
Combination of a metal and nonmetal NO PREFIX
Ionic Compound
A force that holds oppositely charged particles together
Covalent Bond
The bond formed when two nonmetal atoms share electrons
Polyatomic Ion
Group of Atoms that have a positive and negative charge
octet rule
Atoms react by gaining or losing electrons so as to acquire the stable electron structure of a noble gas usually eight valence electrons
Atomic size TRENDS
- Periodic Trend from LEFT to RIGHT down electrons are the same distance but are closer to the nuclei
- Group Trend going Down because outer electrons are in further energy levels
- The radius is C=0.77 A
Ionic Size TRENDS
- Decreases in size from left to right for both cations and anions (periodic)
- Group trend-increases in size going down
When do cations form
when an atom loses electrons
When do anions form
when an atom gains electrons
Factors of Ionizing Energy
- number of electrons (further the valence electrons are easier to pull off the electron)
- Shielding Effect (inner electrons decrease the effective nuclear charge)
- Size of the Nucleus ( the bigger the stronger the pull)
Ionizing Energy TRENDS
- Periodic- increases from left to right, electrons are the same distance but are pulled tighter by bigger nuclei
- Group- decreases from top to bottom because electrons are farther away and are shield by inner electrons
Electronegativity Trends
- Periodic- increases from right to left
2. Group- decreases going down
