OBJECTIVES:
Interpret group trends in atomic radii, ionic radii, ionization energies, m.p., b.p., electronegativity and chemical properties
problem: Where do you start measuring from? The electron cloud doesnt have a definite edge. They get around this by measuring more than 1 atom at a time.
Atomic Size
Radius
Atomic
by three factors: 1. Energy Level Higher energy level is further away. 2. Charge on nucleus More charge pulls electrons in closer. 3. Shielding effect e <-> e repulsion
Group trends
As
we go down a group... each atom has another energy level, so the atoms get bigger.

Periodic Trends
As
you go across a period, the radius gets smaller. Electrons are in same energy level. More nuclear charge. Outermost electrons are closer.

Atomic Number
amount of energy required to completely remove a mole of electrons from a mole of gaseous atoms. Removing an electron makes a +1 ion. The energy required to remove (1 mole of) the first electron is called the first ionization energy.
Ionization Energy
The
second ionization energy is the energy required to remove (1 mole of) the second electron(s). Always greater than first IE. The third IE is the energy required to remove a third electron. Greater than 1st or 2nd IE.

What determines IE
The
greater the nuclear charge, the greater IE. Greater distance from nucleus decreases IE Filled and half-filled orbitals have lower energy, so achieving them is easier, lower IE. Shielding effect
Shielding
The
electron in the outermost energy level experiences more inter-electron repulsion (shielding). Second electron has same shielding, if it is in the same period
Group trends
As
you go down a group, first IE decreases because... The electron is further away. More shielding.
Periodic trends
All
the atoms in the same period have the same energy level. Same shielding. But, increasing nuclear charge So IE generally increases from left to right. Exceptions at full and 1/2 full orbitals.

Energy Levels require lots of energy to remove their electrons. Noble Gases have full orbitals. Atoms behave in ways to achieve noble gas configuration.
energy change associated with adding an electron (mole of electrons) to a (mole of) gaseous atom(s). Easiest to add to group 7A. Gets them to full energy level. Increase from left to right: atoms become smaller, with greater nuclear charge. Decrease as we go down a group.
form by losing electrons. Cations are smaller that the atom they come from. Metals form cations. Cations of representative elements have noble gas configuration.
Ionic size
Anions
form by gaining electrons. Anions are bigger that the atom they come from. Nonmetals form anions. Anions of A groups elements have noble gas configuration.
Configuration of Ions
Ions
have noble gas configurations (not transition metals). Na is: 1s22s22p63s1 Forms a 1+ ion: 1s22s22p6 Same configuration as neon. Metals form ions with the configuration of the noble gas before them - they lose electrons.
Configuration of Ions
Non-metals
form ions by gaining electrons to achieve noble gas configuration. They end up with the configuration of the noble gas after them.

Periodic Trends
Across
the period, nuclear charge increases so they get smaller. Energy level changes between anions and cations.

Electronegativity
The
tendency for an atom to attract electrons to itself when it is chemically combined with another element. High electronegativity means it pulls the electron toward it. Atoms with large negative electron affinity have larger electronegativity.
Group Trend
The
further down a group, the farther the electron is away, and the more electrons an atom has. More willing to share. Low electronegativity.
Periodic Trend
Metals
are at the left of the table. They let their electrons go easily Low electronegativity At the right end are the nonmetals. They want more electrons. Try to take them away from others High electronegativity.
