Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is an ionisation energy? | The energy required to remove one electron from each atom in one mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous 1+ ions |
What is electron shielding? | The repulsion between electrons in different inner shells |
What 3 factors affect ionisation energies? | Atomic radius, nuclear charge and electron shielding |
How many electrons can an s-orbital hold? | 2 electrons |
How many electrons can a p-orbital hold? | 6 electrons |
What is an ionic bond? | The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions |
What is a covalent bond? | A bond formed by a shared pair of electrons |
What is a lone pair? | An outer-shell of electrons not involved in chemical bonding |
