Week Four Flashcards
ionisation energy
strength with an atom holds its electon in a indicator of chemical property
ionisation energy - more than 1 time
more energy is required for each time you remove an electron
zeff increase
number electron decrease
Ionisation energy trends
increases left to right
decreases down a group
Electron Affinity
energy change when atom accepts a proton to from ion
becomes more exothermic moving to right hand side
little change down group
Metallic CHaracter trends
increase down a group
decreases across a period
metals form
cations
Non metals form
anions
metal + metal
metal
Metal + non metal
ionic compound
Non metal + non metal
covalent
Metallic Bonds
in solid metals
bonded to several atoms
electrons are free to move which is why they have high electical conduction
Covalent Bonding
reduction in potential and kinetic energy
Eb
bond energy (between peak and midline)
Covalent bond drawing
a horizontal line between 2 atoms
unequal sharing of electrons
one atom has significantly higher nuclear charge
unsymmetrical distrubution
Electronegativity
abilityof atom to attract electrons
greater for non metals
Electronegativity trends
increases left to right
decreases down
ionic
more electrons so greater charge
Non polar covalent
similar electronegativites, shares electron equally
Polar covalent
One is more electronegative than the other so one has partially negative charged while other is partially positive
Polarity
determined by difference between electronegativity
Lone Pairs
not involved in bonding
Bonding pairs
valence electrons
Lewis Structures
valence electron arrangement
only outer shell interact
