The position and energy of velocity of an electron cannot be measured at the same time...

a maximum of 2 electrons can be held in any orbitals.
Electrons fill energy levels as atomic number increases generally by filling the lowest first.
Valence electrons of the main group elements occupy the S and P sub-levels of the outermost energy levels.
The position of any element on the periodic table shows which sub-level, S, P, D, or F the valence electrons occupy.
The periodic table not only reflects electron structure according to the number of valence electrons, main groups 1, 2, - valence electrons in S sub-level, groups 13-18 valence electrons in S and P sub-levels.

Term
On the periodic table, does ATOMIC SIZE increase or decrease...
going down the periodic table?
why?
going across the periodic table?
Why?
Definition
increase
The number of energy levels increases as you move down a group as the number of electrons increases. Each subsequent energy level is further from the nucleus than the last.
decrease
The concentration of more protons in the nucleus creates a "higher effective nuclear charge." In other words, there is a stronger force of attraction pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus resulting in a smaller atomic radius.
Term
On the periodic table, does IONIZATION ENERGY increase or decrease...
going down the periodic table?
going across the periodic table?
Why?
Definition
decrease
Electrons are further from the nucleus and thus easier to remove the outermost one.
increase
As you move across a period, the atomic radius decreases, that is, the atom is smaller. The outer electrons are closer to the nucleus and more strongly attracted to the center. Therefore, it becomes more difficult to remove the outermost electron.
Term
Define: ionization energy
Definition
electron's ability to pull electrons off of another atom
Term
define: electronegativity
Definition
atom's ability to hold onto its electrons
Term
On the periodic table, does IONIC SIZE increase or decrease...
going down the periodic table?
why?
going across the periodic table?
Why?
Definition

On the periodic table, does SHIELDING increase or decrease...
going down the periodic table?
why?
going across the periodic table?
Why?
Definition

Term
Define: nuclear charge
Definition
total charge of all the protons in the nucleus. It has the same value as the atomic number.
Term
Define: shielding
Definition
•The shielding effect describes the decrease in attraction between an electron and the nucleus in any atom with more than one electron shell.
•Shielding electrons are the electrons in the energy levels between the nucleus and the valence electrons. They are called "shielding" electrons because they "shield" the valence electrons from the force of attraction exerted by the positive charge in the nucleus.
Term
Why are anions larger than their respective atoms?
Definition
electrostatic repulsion, also protons cannot pull extra electrons as tightly towards the nucleus
