SCIENCE Flashcards
how electrons are distributed in atomic orbital.
Electron Configuration -
Uses of Electron Configuration
⦁ Determining the valency of an element
⦁ Predicting the properties of a group of element
⦁ Interpreting Atomic Spectra
refer to the trends or patterns in the properties of elements
periodic trend
is the distance between the nucleus and the outermost electron
Atomic radius
is the distance from the nucleus to the outer edge of the electron cloud of an ion.
Ionic radius
is required to remove an electron from an atom
Ionization energy
is the measure of the ability to attract electrons towards itself
Electronegativity
it is an ability of an atom to accept electron
Electron affinity
is referred to as the element’s atom may lose
Metallic character
considered the smallest particle of matter
atom
representation of what an atom could look
atomic model
Atoms as solid spheres, which he believed had four characteristics
John Dalton,
Discover electrons from his observation in his cathode ray tube
⦁ Joseph John Thompson / jj thomson
discovered the nucleus and the proton
Ernest Rutherford
atom consists of a dense core
Nucleus
