Unit 10 test Flashcards
ionization energy trends
decrease from top to bottom, increase from left to right
electronegativity trends
decrease from top to bottom, increase from left to right
ionization energy definition
energy required to move an electron from an atom in its gaseous state
electronegativity definition
the ability of a gaseous atom to attract electrons
electron affinity trends
decrease from top to bottom, increase from left to right
electron affinity definition
change in energy of a neutral gaseous atom when an electron is added to the atom
atomic size/ radii trends
increases from top to bottom, decreases from left to right
atomic size/ radii definition
1/2 the distance between the nuclei of 2 adjacent atoms of the same element when the atoms are joined
ionic size/ radii definition
the distance between the nuclei of a cation and an adjacent anion in an atomic radius, the radius of a cation or anion, or both
- cations are always SMALLER than the parent atom
-anions are always LARGER than the parent atom
ionic size/ radii trends
increases from top to bottom, decreases from left to right
energy trend
decrease from top to bottom, increase from left to right
size/ radii trend
increases from top to bottom, decreases from left to right
ionic bonds
electrostatic attraction between cation and anion
covalent bonds
sharing of valence electrons
meaning of polar or polar covalent bonds
there is an uneven sharing of valence electrons; one atom is more negative and the other atom is less negative
