| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| atomic radius metals | half the distance between adjacent nuclei in a crystal of the element |
| atomic radius nonmetals | half the distance between nuclei of identical atoms that are chemically bonded together |
| ionic radii | an atom or bonded group of atoms with a positive or negative charge |
| positive ions | smaller than the neutral atoms from which they form |
| negative ions | larger than the neutral atoms from which they form |
| ionization energy | energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom; increases left to right, decreases top to bottom |
| high ionization | atom has a strong hold on its electron and is less likely form a positive ion |
| low ionization | atom loses an outer electron easily and is more likely to form a positive ion |
| electron negativity | indicates the relative ability of an elements atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond |
| electron affinity | energy change when a gaseous atom gains an electron to form a negative atom, indicating an atoms tendency to attract an electron |
