Chemistry Quiz 1 Review (Sept 19) Flashcards
(31 cards)
Protons
Subatomic particle found in the nucleus, positive charge
Neutrons
Subatomic particle found in nucleus, no charge
Electrons
Subatomic particle found outside of nucleus in orbits/shells, negative charge
Change number of protons
Becomes a different element
Change number of electrons
becomes an ion
Types of ions
Cation - Positive
Anion - negative
Change number of neutrons
Forms isotopes
Rows and columns of periodic table
Periods and families
Atomic Radius
The estimated size of an element from the nucleus to the outer perimeter
Atomic radius …… As you move left to right
Gets smaller
Why does atomic radius get smaller as you move left to right
add more protons and electrons, making the attraction stronger and pulling shells closer
Ionization energy Definition
the energy needed to remove an electron from a gaseous atom
Ionization energy ___ as you go left to right on the periodic table
Increases (because you need more energy bc shells are so close together)
Why does Ionization energy increase as you go left to right on the table
Because the electrons are more tight together. Ionization energy gets weaker as you move down a family
Multiple Ionization energy
Taking of more than 1 electron from a gaseous atom
Describe multiple ionzation energy
It gets harder to take more and more electrons from an atoms because protons pull harder when losing electrons
Electron Affinity
energy released when an electron is ADDED to a gaseous atom
Electronegativity
the strength of attraction an atom has for electrons while in a chemical bond
Elecronegativity __ as you go left to right
Increases because theres more protons to attract electrons
Electronegativity ___ as you go down a column (family)
Decreases because theres more orbits
Chemical bonds
electrostatic attraction between pairs of atoms/ions
Octet Rule
8 valence electrons, atoms form ions with full valence shell
Ionic Compounds
Bully beats wimp and steals toys
(Non metal takes electrons from metals)
