Unit 2 [Atomic Theory] Flashcards
Column 1; very reactive
alkali metals
Column 2; reactive
alkaline earth metals
Column 3-12; Multivalent
transition
“the other metals”; soft brittle metals
post-transition
columns 13-16; non-metals that behave as metals in high temperatures
metalloids
column 1&14-16; poor conductors; brittle solids
non-metals
very reactive; need one more e- for full valence
halogen
very unreactive; full valence
noble gases
mass number
protons + neutrons
nuclear charge
number of protons
atomic charge
ion charge
isotope
same amount of protons with different amounts of neutrons; same atomic number; different atomic mass
formula for atomic mass
% of Atom ( Weigh )
ionization energy
energy required to remove an electron from it’s valence shell
ionization energy (left to right)
increases
ionization energy (top to bottom)
decreases
