Periodicity Flashcards
Period {Where is similarity of electrons}
Horizontal rows on PT (7 main) {same in outer level}
First ionization energy
Energy required to remove one electron from an atom
Electronegativity
Measure of an atoms relative ability to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself
Atomic radius
The size of the Atom
Trends of atomic radius
Increases down a group, decreases across a period
Ionic radius
Size of the ion
Trends of ionic radius
Positive ions are smaller, negative are larger
Trends of ionization energy
Decreased down a group, increases across a period
Shielding effect
Inner electron shells shield the attractive drove of the nucleus an the outermost electrons
trends of electronegativity
Decreases down a group , increases across a period
Electron affinity
Energy required to detach an electron from the singly charged negative ion in the gas phase
Trends of electron affinity
Increases across a period, decreases down group 1 but patterns vary by group(no pattern)
Compare relative electronegativity
Closer an element is to fluorine the more electronegative it is (except noble gases)
Alkali metals react VIOLENTLY with _____ as you move down group 1
Water: hydrogen is flammable and the reaction is very exothermic
Alkali metals react less violently with ____ as you move down group _____
Halogens, group 17
Halogens react readily with ______
Halide ions ( F2>Cl2>Br2>I2)
Metals (shiny, conductors of electricity)
Sodium magnesium and aluminum
Metalloid (has properties of metals and non metals)
Silicon
Nonmetals
Phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon
Metal oxides
Metal ions bonded to oxide ions
Amphoteric
Aluminum can act as acid or base
Silicon dioxide
High m&b, insoluble in water, reacts with sodium hydroxide as a base
Nonmetal oxides
Covalently bonded atoms, low m&b, react with water to form acidic solutions
Argon
Doesn’t form an oxide
Group {where is similarity of electrons}
Vertical columns on the PT (18) {same number of valence, superscript}
