Unit 1: Matter, Chemical Trends, Bonding

Question 1

atomic model

Answer 1

1. democritus - 400 BC
   atomos: smallest piece of matter, “not to be cut”
2. aristotle/plato
   earth, water, fire, air
3. dalton - early 1800s
   atom
4. thomson - 1897
   atom = + charge substance & - electron scattered
5. rutherford - 1908
   nucleus + electrons orbit around
6. bohr - 1913
   electron levels
7. quantum model
   electrons behave like waves, do not orbit around definite path, electon clouds

alkali metal

Answer 9

group 1
very reactive, especially with water

Question 10

Question 15

ion

Answer 15

atom gain/lost electrons

Question 16

anion

Answer 16

atom gain electron + negative charge

Question 17

cation

Answer 17

atom lose electron + positive charge

Question 18

isoelectronic

Answer 18

having same number of electrons as nearest noble gas

Question 19

largest atomic radius

Answer 19

fr

Question 19

atomis radius

Answer 19

left -> right = decreases
affected by:
# of protons
down: increases
affected by: # electron shells

Question 19

smallest atomic radius

Answer 19

he

Question 19

ionization energy

Answer 19

energy required to remove e- from valence energy level and form a cation

Question 19

ie trend

Answer 19

left –> right: increases
bc of # of protons/size
down: decreases
bc of energy levels/size

Question 20

highest IE

Answer 20

he

Question 21

lowest IE

Answer 21

fr

Question 22

electron affinity

Answer 22

energy released when atom gains electron to form anion easier to add e- = more energy released

Question 23

ea trend

Answer 23

left --> right = increase bc of # protons/size down = decrease bc of electron shell/size

Question 24

lowest ea

Answer 24

Fr

Question 25

highest ea

Answer 25

F

Question 26

reactivity

Answer 26

metals left + down = increase nonmetals right + up = increase
