Chapter 8 Flashcards
Atoms in the same group __________ in size down the column.
Increase
Atomic radii of __________ __________ roughly the same size across the d block.
Transition metals
__________ form when the atom loses electrons from the valence shell.
Cations
When transition metals form cations, the first electrons removed are __________ __________, even though other electrons were added after.
Valence electrons
Electrons may also be removed from the sublevel __________ to the valence shell after the valence electrons.
Closest
The iron atom has _____ valence electrons.
2
When ion forms a cation, it first __________ it’s valence electrons.
Loses
Electron configurations that result in unpaired electrons mean that the atom or ion will have a net magnetic field. This is called __________.
Paramagnetism
Electron configurations that result in all paired electrons mean that the atom or ion will have no magnetic field. This is called __________.
Diamagnetism
Atom or ion will be attracted to a magnetic field in:
Paramagnetism
Atom or ion will be slightly repelled by a magnetic field in:
Diamagnetism
Ions in the same group have the same __________.
Charge
Ion size _________ down the column.
Increases
Cations are __________ than neutral atoms.
Smaller
Anions are __________ than neutral atoms.
Larger
Cations are __________ than anions.
Smaller
Larger positive charge = __________ cation.
Smaller
Larger __________ charge = smaller cation.
Positive
Larger negative charge = __________ anion.
Larger
Larger __________ charge = larger anion.
Negative
