Trends Structure
Define factor
state the trend
what is happening to # of p and nuclear charge
where are e going
what does this mean for sheilding and dist from nucleus
what does this mean for factor
Atomic Radii decreases
across the period
Atomic increases
down a group
electron are added to same shell
across a period
e are added to new shells
down a period
Electronegativity (def)
the measure of attraction between a nucleus and a bonding pair of e
Electrongativity increases
across a period (left to right)
Electronegativity decreases
down a group
Atomic Radii (def)
total distance from the nucleus of an atom to the outermost orbital of its electron
1st Ionisation energy (def)
the energy required to remove the least tightly bound electron from a mole of atoms in the gaseous state
High Ionisation energy
takes a lot of energy to remove the outermost e
Low Ionisation energy
takes a small amount of energy to remove outermost e
1st ionisation energy increases
across a period
1st ionisation energy decreases
down a group
Once 1 e has been removed
more energy is needed to remove the second e
Ionic Radius (def)
the radius of an ion
Cations are (postive ions)
smaller in radii and smaller than their parent atom (if all the v electrons are removed there is one less occupied energy level with no change in nuclear charge)
Anions are (negative ions)
larger in radii and are bigger than their parent atom (if there are more electrons in the valence level so there is greater e- to e- repulsion with no change in nuclear charge)
Shape Template
number of e clouds around central atom
e are negatively charged and repel each other to maximize separation and minimize repulsion
parent arrangement and angle
Number of non bonding and bonding pairs
non bonding pairs contribute to shape but are not part of it
final shape
Which atom is more electronegative
FONCl BrISCHP
Solubility Def
The ability of a substance solute to dissolve (break up) in a given solute
Exceptions in Electron Configuration are
Cu and Cr
Ionisation Energy Factors-
The stronger the attraction of the nucleus to the electron, the more energy required to remove the electron.
Electronegativity increase across a period due to
(atomic number) increasing positive charge due to increasing number of protons in the nucleus
Valence electrons across a period are in the same energy level which means
a decrease in atomic radius as valence electrons are pilled in closer due to strong electrostatic attraction
increase in first ionization energy- valence electrons are harder to remove
