Terms Recap Flashcards
Electrostatic attraction is attraction between _ and _
Positive nucleus of atom
Negative electrons of an atom
Greater positive charge of the nucleus means
More protons in nucleus
The greater the _ the greater the effective nuclear charge
Positive charge of the nucleus (more protons in nucleus)
Energy of an atom is defined when the atom loses or gains energy through chemical reactions which cause the
Loss or gain of electrons
Energy from exothermic reaction is (release energy)
Negative
Energy from endothermos reaction is (absorbs heat)
Positive
When an electron is added to a neutral atom
Energy is released
More energy is required to add an electron to a _ atom
Negative
Adding an electron to a neutral atom is the _ adding electron to a negative atom is the _
First electron affinity
Second electron affinity
The first electron affinities (electron added to neutral atom) are
Negative
Second electron affinities (adding electron to negative atom) are
Positive
Second energy affinity is positive because
Energy needed is more than gained
Electron affinity is opposite to
Ionization energy
