30
Q

What happens to the relative size of an atom when it becomes a anion?

A

becomes a LARGER atom

31
Q

Which group of elements in the periodic table is known as the alkali metals?

A

Group 1A

32
Q

Which group in the periodic table is known as noble gases?

A

Group 18

33
Q

An element has atomic number of 80. How many protons and electrons are in an atom of the elements?

A

80 protons and 80 electrons (equal)

34
Q

What is the electron configuration of oxygen?

A

1s2 , 2s2 , 2p4 : Oxygen

35
Q

What is the electron configuration of sulfur?

A

[Ne] 3s2 and 3p4 : Sulfur

36
Q

The “S” and “P” sublevels of an atom of an element in period three are filled with electrons. Which orbitals are filled in this atom?

A

3s and 3p

37
Q

What orbital is filled with iodine gains an electron to become a negative ion?

A

5p orbital

38
Q

How many electrons are present in the D sub level of a neutral atom of nickel?

A

8 electrons in the “D” orbital

39
Q

How many electrons are in rubidium ion (Rb+)?

A

37 electrons

40
Q

What is the usual charge on an ion from group 7A?

A

Charges “-1”

41
Q

How many electrons does the ion Ca2+ contain?

A

18 electrons
(20-2=18)

42
Q

Explain how ions form. Provide examples.

A

When an atom gains/loses electrons in order to find a more stable configuration.

-> chlorine takes an electron from sodium, then sodium gives the electron chlorine that creates “NaCl”

43
Q

What is electronegativity? Describe the trends in electronegativity within groups and across periods in the periodic table. Provide examples.

A

The ability of an atom to attract electrons when the atom is in a compound.

-> INCREASES when moving left to right and DECREASES as you move down in a group.

44
Q

How do they measure atomic radius? Why does the atomic radius decrease as you move across the periodic table?

A

Atomic radius is measured in picometers (1x10^-12)

-> valence electrons are being added to the same energy level at the same time. The nucleus is INCREASING in protons.

45
Q

What does ionization energy mean? For the elements in group 2A, compare the relative values of their first, second and third ionization energy and explain why this is.

A

Energy that is required to remove an electron from an atom in its gaseous state.

-> first - low
-> second - high
-> third - highest
