Question | Answer |
Valence electrons | The electrons that exist farthest from an atom's nucleus. They are generally the electrons with the highest energy level number. |
Noble gases | The elements in 8A. Their s and p orbitals in their highest energy level are full. |
Octet rule | Most atoms strive to attain eight valence electrons. Hydrogen tries to get two. |
For atoms in groups 1A-8A, the number of valence electrons equals ... | ... the number of the column in which the atom is located |
Ion | An atom that has gained or lost electrons and thus has become electrically charged |
In ionic compounds, nonmetals try to gain electrons so that their Lewis structure has _____ dots around it. | 8 (except for H) |
In ionic compounds, metals try to lose electrons until their Lewis structure has _____ dots around it. | 0 |
Positive ions have the _________ name as the atom from which they came. | same |
Negative ions have an ________ suffix added to the name of the atom from which they came. | "ide" |
1A | lose an electron 1+ charge |
2A | lose 2 electrons 2+ charge |
3A | all except boron become 3+ |
4A | C and Si are non metals and become 4- All others are special |
5A | nonmetals become 3- don't worry about metals |
6A | nonmetals become 2- |
7A | become 1- |
If the charges have the same numerical value, the subscript for each ion is ..... | 1, and can be ignored |
If the charges have different numerical values ..... | drop the + and - signs, switch the numbers and use them as subscripts |
Transition metals | groups 1B - 8B |
Ionization | The process by which an atom turns into an ion by gaining or losing electrons |
Ionization potential | The amount of energy needed in order to take an electron away from an atom. |
In general, the ionization potential of atoms __________ from left to right and ________ from top to bottom of the period chart. | increases decreases |
Periodic property | A characteristic of atoms that varies regularly across the periodic chart |
Electronegativity | A measure of how strongly an atom attracts extra electrons to itself. |
In general, electronegativity _______ from left to right and _______ from top to bottom on the periodic chart. | increases decreases |
In general, atomic radius _______ from left to right and _______ from top to bottom of the periodic chart. | decreases increases |
Covalent bond | A shared pair of valence electrons that holds atoms together in covalent compounds |
Atoms in covalent compounds _______ electrons in order to form molecules. | share |
Atoms in ionic compounds ___________ electrons to form ions. | give or take |
Double bond | A bond made of two shared electron pairs |
Triple bond | A bond made of three shared electron pairs |
In the periodic table, atoms that strongly hold their electrons, attract other electrons, and have a smaller radius are in the ... | upper right corner |
In the periodic table, atoms that have a weak hold on their electrons, don't attract other electrons, and have a larger radius are in the ... | lower left corner |
