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
