| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| metals | the atomic radius is defined as half the distance between adjacent nuclei in a crystal of the element |
| non-metals | 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 | are larger than the neutral atoms from which they form |
| ionization energy | energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous state |
| electron negativity | indicates the relative ability of an elements atoms to attract electrons in a chemical bond |
| electron affinity | energy change when a gaseous atom gains and electron to form a negative atom, indicating an atoms tendency to attract an electron |
| ionic bond | electrostatic force that holds oppositely charged particles together in an ionic compound; occur between metals and nonmetals |
| ionic compound | compounds that contain ionic bonds |
| binary ionic compounds | contain a metallic cation and a nonmetallic anion |
| crystal lattice | a three-dimensional geometric arrangement of particles; they have high melting and boiling points |
| electrolyte | an ionic compound whose aqueous solution conducts an electric current |
| lattice energy | the energy required to separate 1 molecule of ions of an ionic compound |
