Term
Atomic Radius:Across
Definition
Decreases as you go across, because the pull from the protons pulls in the electrons closer making it smaller
Term
Atomic Radius:Down
Definition
Increases, because you add more electron orbits so it is obviously getting bigger.
Term
Ionization Energy:Define
Definition
The Energy required to remove an electron from an atom
Term
Ionization Energy:Across
Definition
Increases as you go across, because obviously it's harder to take away for example 10 electrons than just remove 1.
Term
Ionization Energy:Down
Definition
Decreases, because it's farther away from the nucleus anyways so it's easier.
Term
Electronegativity:Define
Definition
Tendancy and ability of an atom to attract other electrons to share.
Term
Electronegativity:Across+Down
Definition
Flourine is the most electronegative element so think of it as everything going to that one. It would increase as going across and then increase going up to flourine.
Term
Covalent bond
Definition
the attraction that forms between atoms when they share electrons
Term
Ionic bond
Definition
the force of attraction between opposite charges of ions
Term
Polar Covalent Bond
Definition
a covalent bond where the united atoms have an unequal attraction for the shared electrons
Term
Nonpolar Covalent Bond
Definition
a covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally by bonded atoms with a resulting balanced distribution of charges
Term
