Questions and Answers
Atomic size trend
increases right to left
increases downward
(He smallest)
Principle Quantum Number
indicates the main energy level occupied by the electron
-increases downward
ex. bottom group atomic radius & nuclear charge > top group radius & nuclear
charge
valance electrons charge
weak
ionization energy trend
,increase left to right
increase upward
cations size
smaller (lose valance)
anions size
larger (gain valance)
Zeff
effective nuclear charge
Zeff= Z-S
Z= atomic number
S=inner shell electrons
valence electrons
atom's outermost electrons
,ionization energy (IE)
the energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom of an element
electron affinity (EA)
adding an electron
-increases upward and left to right
types of bonds
ionic, covalent, metallic
ionic bond
metal + nonmetal
-held together by electrostatic attractions
ex. NaCl, MgO
electrostatic potential energy (Ee1)
strength of ionic attraction
Ee1=2.31 x 10^-19 j x nm (Q1 x Q2/d)
Q1=charge of ion
, Q2=charge of ion
d= addition of two distances
Lattice energy (U)
the energy required to completely separate one mole of a solid ionic compound
into gaseous ions
covalent bond
nonmetal + nonmetal
ex. H2 CO2 H2SO4
metallic bond
metal + metal
naming binary compounds of main group
1. first word is cation
2. second word is anion
-ide
ex. Al2O3 aluminum oxide
