exam 2 Flashcards
(74 cards)
arranged elements by atomic mass
Newlands
discovered correlation between the number of protons and the frequency of x-rays generated
Moseley
groups 1A to 7A
main group elements
group 8A; have completely filled p subshells
noble gases
group 1B and 3B to 8B
transition metals
make up the f-block transition elements
lathanides and actinides
outermost electrons of an atom
valence electrons
independently proposed the idea of periodicity
Mendeleev and Meyer
3 things valence electrons are responsible for
- formation of chemical bonds
- help predict chemical properties
- usually the only electrons that interact with other atoms to form chem. bonds
actual magnitude of positive charge that is experienced by an electron in the atom
effective nuclear charge
where an electron is partially blocked from the positive charge of the nucleus by other electrons
sheilding
Zeff increases from..
left to right
distance between the nucleus of an atom and its valence shell
atomic radius
atomic radius in metals
metallic radius
atomic radius in nonmetals
covalent radius
atomic radius increases…
top to bottom; right to left
relative ability of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons affected by atomic radius; can only be measured for one element relative to another
electronegativity
has the highest electronegativity
Fluorine
minimum energy required to remove an electron from an atom in the gas phase
ionization energy
ionization energy increases..
left to right, bottom to top
energy released when an atom in the gas phase accepts an electron
electron affinity
electron affinity increases…
left to right, bottom to top
shiny, lustrous, malleable, ductile, good conductors, low ionization energies
metals
not shiny, brittle, poor conductors, high electron affinities
nonmetals
