summarize the connection between Coulomb’s law and period trends
an increased atomic number means there’s an increased number of protons, with an increased number of protons then the strength of positive nuclear charge increases, and then with that the attraction force on electrons increases
what does Coulomb’s law explain about periodic trends?
it explains why we see the trends we do in atomic radii, reactivity, electronegativity, and others
increases going down and increases when moving left in a period
atomic radius
metals increase going down and moving left in a period
metal reactivity
nonmetals increase going up and moving right in a period
nonmetal reactivity
increases when going UP a group and when moving RIGHT in a period
electronegativity
increases when going up a group and when moving right in a period (not electronegativity)
ionization energy
atoms that lose electrons become ______
smaller
atoms that gain electrons become _____
larger
increases as you move DOWN a group
atomic radius
how does shielding effect work?
electrons in the inner energy levels block the attraction of the nucleus to the valence electrons, and thus they become more loosely held
increases as you move DOWN a group because the atomic size is increasing
shielding effect
what bond forms when the EN is larger than 2
ionic bond
what bond forms when the EN is less than 0.5?
covalent bond
what bond forms when the EN is between 0.5 and 2?
polar covalent bond
what happens to electrons in an ionic bond?
they are transferred from one to another
what happens to electrons in a covalent bond?
they are equally shared between the two
what happens to electrons in a polar covalent bond?
they are unequally shared
