| general trend for transition medals | lose electrons to form cations lose s electrons first (which is why in the electron configuration they are down a level) |

| Z sub eff | Z effective effective nuclear charge |
| Z sub eff = | Z - S Z - number of protons (atomic number) S is shielding factor, number of core electrons. The core electrons shield the outer electrons from the inner, positive nucleus |
| example of Z sub eff equation | Z sub eff of N is = 7 (atomic number) - 5 (inner electrons, 1s^2 not 2s^2, 2s^3) = +5 |
| Z sub eff across a row/period | Z eff increases , valence electrons are helf more tightly oxygen (8) has more portons to hold the electrons more tightly than nitrogen, right behind it (7) |
| Z sub eff down a column | Z sub eff increases but attractive force decreases elecments are getting more protons, but also more electrons |
| atomic radius/size | gets bigger as you move to the left and to the bottom why? because there are less protons as you move to the left, so less force pulling in the electrons for a smaller radius as you go down there are more electrons, meaning the radius is larger |
| electron affinity definition and trend | energy change that occurs when a neutral atom gains an electron (negative) becomes more negative as you go to the right and up |
| electron affinity trends reasoning | because the more right you are, the stronger tendency to gain an electron (to become isoelectronic with noble gases on the far right) the more up, the smaller the shell, meaning it takes less energy to gain an electron (lower energy change) |
| ionization energy definition and trends | amount of energy required to remove an electron, each successive energy gets higher each time (positive) increases as you go up and right |
| ionization energy trends reasoning | as you got to the right, proton pull increases, making it harder to remove electrons (more energy required) as you go up, electrons are closer are more attracted to the nucleus so it is harder to break them off (more energy required) |
| noble gases _______ want to gain or lose electrons | do not their shells are already filled and stable |
