Effective Nuclear Charge | Pull that electron feels from nucleus the closer the electron feels from nucleus the closer the electron is to nucleus the greater the change |
Shielding | Blocking the effective nuclear charge by energy levels |
Ionization Energy | Energy required to remove an electron from an atom |
Electron Affinity | Energy change that occurs when an atom gains an electron |
Electronegativity | Measure of an atom's attraction for another atom's electron |
