Periodic Properties Flashcards
(8 cards)
Mendeleev and Meyer
Came up with table
Atomic radius
Decreases left to right
Increases up and down
Up and down takes priority over left to right
Size of ions
Cations are smaller
Anions are larger
Isoelectronic series
Ions ha ether same number of electrons plus same electron configuration
Ionic size decreased with an increasing nuclear charge
10 electrons
Ionizations energy
Minimum energy required to remove an electron
The higher the i.e. The more difficult to remove
Takes more energy each time an electron is removed
Increases across and decreases down
Electron affinity
Energy accompanying the addition of an electron to a gaseous atom
Typically exothermic
Increases across
Electronegativity
Ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself
Increases left to right decreases
up and down
Closer to F greater the value
Metals
Compound with transitions metals have colors to them
Li-red or pink Na-orange K-purple
Metals form cations
