Periodic Trends 5 Flashcards
As you _ atomic radius decreases
Move across a period from left to right
Why atomic radius decreases when you move from left to right of a period
The effective nuclear charge increases as electrons are added to the energy level
As electrons are added to the energy level which is
The same distance from the nucleus
Atomic radius increases from top to bottom in a group as
The effective nuclear charge decreases
Effective nuclear charge decreases due to
More electrons in more energy levels
Magnesium has a larger atomic radius (is bigger) than
Chlorine
Magnesium is bigger than chlorine because
It is to the left on periodic table
Magnesium has 12 protons and _ neutrons
12
Chlorine has 17 protons and _ neutrons
18
Ionic radius is the distance between the center of
The nuclei of two ions that barely touch
Ionic radius increases for
Nonmetals moving across a period
Effective nuclear charge definition
Force of attraction exerted by the protons
Ionic radius increases for nonmetals moving across a period because
Effective nuclear charge decreases as number of electrons exceeds number of protons
For a neutral atom _ are equal (2)
Atomic radius
Ionic radius
Ionic radius increases as
Ion gains electrons
