| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Atomic radius | half the distance between the nuclei of two atoms of the same element held together by a single covalent bond |
| electronegativity | the force of attraction that an atom in a molecule has for the shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond |
| first ionisation rule | the minimum amount of energy required to completely remove the most loosely electron from a gaseous, neutral atom in its ground state. |
| down a group | new energy level, increase in screening |
| across a period | increase in effective nuclear charge, decrease in atomic radius |
| second ionisation energy | the energy required to remove an electron from an ion with one positive charge in the gaseous state |
