Chapter 6 Relationships and patterns In Chemistry Flashcards
Periods
Go up and down, aka a family
Elements in the same chemical family have…
It he same chemical properties
Why do elements in the same chemical family have similar properties
They have the same number of valence electrons.
The most metallic elements are located….
The most non metallic elements are located….
Bottom left, upper right
Alkali metals
Most reactive metals. Violent with water
Halogens
Most reactive elements
Trend of atomic radii
Elements are larger in the bottom left.
Ionization energy increases
Upper right
Ionization energy
The amount of energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous ion
Electronegativity
The ability of an attracted element to pull elements twoards it.
What affects atomic radii?
The number of valence electrons:makes it larger
The number of protons, makes it smaller
Metal bonded to a nonmetal
Ionic
Non metal to a non metal
Covalent
Metal to a metal
Metallic
How to determine the type of bonds
Take the absolute value of the difference between electronegativities and use the chart
What is the bond chart
0 -non polar covalent
Anything up to .4 -mostly covalent
.4-1.7 polar covalent
More than 1.7 - ionic
Network covalent bonds
The bond is the whole substance, not just one element to another
It is hydrogen bonding when hydrogen is connected to
Nitrogen oxygen and fluorine
It is dipole dipole when
There is a partially positive and a partially negative side
How to tell if a molecule is polar.
If it has a partially positive and a partially negative side
How to tell if it is a London dispersion force
If it is equally dispersed.
How to calculate formal charge ?
Use the formula: valence electrons - (dots plus dashes)
How to determine the correct isomer
Preform the formal charge for each element
Whichever structure has an answer closer to 0 wins
What is planks constant
