redox and periodicity Flashcards
(37 cards)
define electronegativity
ability of an atom to attract a shred pair of electrons towards itself
how does electronegativity change down a group
decreases
-atomic radius Increases
-less attraction between nucleus and shared pair of electrons
how does electronegativity change across a period
increases
- atomic radius decreases
- greater attraction between nucleus and shared pair of electrons
what is the oxidation states for all elements
0
what is the oxidation state in simple ions
the same as the charge
what is the oxidation stats in compounds
0
what is the oxidation state in complex ions
charge on ion
what are the 3 exceptions to oxidation rules
in peroxides O=2
H=1
O=2
what do the roman numerals apply to for oxidation rules
appear after the element they apply to
what are the 3 different definitions of oxidation
loss of e-
gain of oxygen
increase in oxidation state
what are the 3 definitions of reduction
gain of e-
loss of oxygen
decrease in oxidation state
how would you describe an increase in oxidation state
number gets more positive
define disproportionation
the same element from teh same species is both oxidised and reduced
how to draw ionic equations
look for aqueous elements and separate cations and anions
remove ions that havent changed
separate each side to give them their own half equation
who discovered the modern periodic table
Mendeleev
how is the periodic table organised
by chemical properties
what is the historically changed part o the periodic table
used to be arranged by atomic weight, now arranged by atomic number
define periodicity
repeating trends + patterns across the periodic table
whatis the periodicity down the group
the more electron shells
atomic radius increases
what is the periodicity across a period
atomic radius decreases
increased nuclear charge (more protons)
similar shielding
greater attraction between electrons + nucleus
define ionisation
the removal of electrons
define first ionisation energy
energy required to remove one electron from each atom in one mole of gaseous +1 ions
why is ionisation always endothermic
an electron is lost is breaking bonds - generally endotremic
what 3 factors affect ionisation energy
atomic radius
number of protons (nuclear charge)
electron shielding
