Question
Answer
The size of an atom is defined by what   the edge of its orbital  
🗑
What is one way to express an atom's radius   measure the distance between the nuclei of two identical atoms that are chemically bonded together, then divide this distance by two.  
🗑
May be defined asw one-half the distance between the nuclei of identical atoms that are bonded together   atomic radius  
🗑
The atomic radii decrease from ________ across a __________ and increase ____________________   left to right across a period; increase down a group  
🗑
The trend to smaller atoms across a period is caused by   the increasing positive charge of the nucleus.  
🗑
How can an electron be removed from an atom.   enough energy has to be supplied. Equation is A + energy --> A+ +e-  
🗑
What does A+ represent in the energy equation   ion of element A with a single positive charge referred to as a 1+ion  
🗑
An atom or group of bonded atoms that has a positive or negative charge   ion  
🗑
Any process that results in the formation of an ion is referred to as   ionization  
🗑
The energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom of an element   ionization energy, IE (or first ionization energy IE)  
🗑
What is done to avoid influence of nearby atoms on the measurement of ionization   Ionization energies are made on isolated atoms in the gas phase  
🗑
Group 1 metals have the __________ first ionization energies in their respective periods   lowest  
🗑
What is the major reason for the high reactivity of the Group 1 (alkali) metals   Electron loss  
🗑
What group has the highest ionization energies   Group 18 elements, the noble gases,  
🗑
True or False: ionization energies of the main-group elements decrease across each period   False  
🗑
Increasing nuclear charge is responsible for what   increasing ionization energy and decreasing radii across the periods.  
🗑
Does nonmetals have higher ionization energies than metals   Yes  
🗑
Among the main groups, ionization energies _______ down the groups   decrease  
🗑
The energies for removal of additional electrons from an atom are referred to as   the second ionization energy (IE2), third ionization energy IE3, & so on.  
🗑
Each successive electron removed from an ion feels an increasingly stronger effective _____   nuclear charge (the nuclear charge minus the electron shielding)  
🗑
The energy change that occurs when an electron is acquired by a neutral atom is   the atom's electron affinity  
🗑
Which element gains electrons most readily   halogens  
🗑
What is the major reason for the high reactivities of the Group 17 elements   The ease with which halogen atoms gain electrons  
🗑
How do you know that an atom has released energy when they acquired an electron   it will hve a negative valuef  
🗑
Why does electrons add with greater difficulty down a group   It is the result of 2 competing factors. 1st - A slight increase in effective nuclear charge down a group, which increased electron affinities. 2nd - an increase in atomic radius down a group, which decreases electron affinities.  
🗑
Second electron affinities are positive or negative   All positive  
🗑
A positive ion is know as   Cation  
🗑
The removal of the highest energy level electrons results in a   smaller electron cloud  
🗑
A negative ion is known as   anion  
🗑
The formation of a cation always leads to   A decrease in atomic radius  
🗑
The formatioin of an anion always leads to   an increase in atomic radius  
🗑
Why does the formation of an anion leade to increase in atomic radius   The total positive charge of the nucleus remains unchnged when anelectron is added to an atom or an ion.  
🗑
Cations are smaller or larger than atoms   smaller  
🗑
Anions are smaller or larger than atoms   larger  
🗑
The electrons available to be lost, gained, or shared in teh formation of chemical compounds are referred to as   valence electrons  
🗑
Where are valance electrons often located   in incompletely filled main-energy levels.  
🗑
For main-group elements, the valence electrons are located where   In teh outermost s and p sublevels  
🗑
A measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons from another atom in the compound   Electronegativity  
🗑
What are the least electronegative elements   alkali and alkaline-earth metals  
🗑
What are the most electronegative elements   nitrogen, oxygen, and halogens  
🗑
What tends to be the movement of Electronegativities across the periodic table   They tend to either decrease down a group or remain about the same  
🗑
On the Pauling Scale where are electonegative elements located   The most-electronegative elements are locared in the upper right of the p-block. The least-electronegativity elements are located in teh lower left of the s block.  
🗑
The d-block elements are what type of elements   metals  
🗑
As the number of electrons in the d sublevel increases, teh radii   increase because of repulsion among the electrons.  
🗑
atomic radii of the d-block elements _________ across teh periods   Decrease  
🗑
The radii decrease is less than that of the main group elements because the electrons added to the sublevel shield the what   outer electrons from the nucleus  
🗑
Ionic radii ____________ down a group   increase  
🗑
Ionic radii _______________ across a period for cations and for anions   decrease  
🗑
What forms because electrons are lost, gained, or shared between atoms.   Chemical compoundf  
🗑
What holds atoms together in chemical compounds   Valence electrons  
🗑
