Periodic Trends Video 8- Electronegativity video 9 Flashcards
1
Q
The stronger the attraction (4)
A
the closer the electron will be to the nucleus
the harder it will be to remove an electron
the easier it will to add another electron
the less adaptable the electron will be (aka less to change)
2
Q
Zeff (2)
A
estimate of how much the valence electron feels the pull of the nucleus
the larger it is, the harder to remove the electron
3
Q
the higher the quantum number,
A
the easier to remove electron
4
Q
Electronegativity
A
The tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electron
5
Q
a large electronegativity
A
high electron affinity
6
Q
A small electronegativity
A
low electron affinity
7
Q
orbital energy decrease as
A
electronegativity increase
