Lecture 14 Flashcards
1
Q
Isoelectronic
A
Having same number and configuration as another species
2
Q
Transition metal ions
A
Rarely attain noble-gas configurations because they would loose too many electrons
3
Q
Metals
A
Lose their electrons from their valence shells, form positive ions, and cations
4
Q
Nonmetals
A
Added electrons to their valence shells, form negative ions, anions share electrons with their metalloids or other non metals
5
Q
Electron affinity
A
Measure of ease with which atom accepts electrons
6
Q
1st electron affinity
A
Energy change accompanying addition of 1 mail electrons to 1 mol gaseous atoms/ions
7
Q
2nd electron affinity
A
Always positive because energy required to overcome electrostatic repulsion
8
Q
Atomic radius
A
Radius of a neutral atom
9
Q
Ionic radius
A
The radius of an electrically charged atom
