Noble Gases
Ionic Radius
distance from nucleus to outermost ion (ionic charges)
- more positive = smaller
- more negative = bigger
Which is the correct order describing the sizes of these elements?
Y > V > Si > P
P > Si > V > Y
V > Y > P > Si
Y < V < Si < P
P > Si < V > Y
Y > V > Si > P
Atomic Radius Rules
As we go DOWN a column, the atomic radius INCREASES
As we go ACROSS a period, from left to right, radius DECREASES
Which is the correct order describing the sizes of these ions?
Mo6+ > Sc3+ > W2+ > Cl- > O2-
Mo6+ < Sc3+ < W2+ < Cl- < O2-
None of these are correct.
Cl- < O2- < Sc3+ < Mo6+ < W2+
Mo6+ < Sc3+ < W2+ < Cl- < O2-
define elemental state
describes the phase (solid, liquid, gas) and the nature (monatomic, diatomic, polyatomic)
Monoatomic vs. Diatomic
Mono: one atom in elemental form
Diatomic: two atoms in elemental form
Name the Diatomic Elements
H2,N2,O2,F2,Cl2, Br2, I 2
Name the Polyatomic Elements
P4, S8
O3 (both)
Which of the following are in their elemental states?
N23+(aq)
C(s)
Na+(aq)
P(s)
F2(g)
O(g)
C(s) F2(g)
Ultimately what determines the order in which the elements on the periodic table are organized?
least massive to most massive.
by increasing atomic number.
by color.
by physical and chemical properties.
by electronegativity.
by increasing atomic number
define electronegativity
- measure of the ability of the atom to attract the electrons when the atom is part of a compound
- generally increase from left to right across a period
Which of the following is/are in its/their elemental state(s)? (Choose all that apply.)
Ca2+(s)
N(g)
Hg(l)
I2(s)
Sb(s)
Hg(l) I2(s) Sb(s)
