Periodic Trends
Atomic Size (Radius) As you go down in a group on the periodic table, the atomic size increases. Bigger = More electron Shells
As you go across the periodic table, the atomic radius decreases. 3 p+ 9p+ 3 e - 9 e - Bigger – Less Attraction Smaller – More Attraction Atomic Radius is found on Table S of Reference Tables Li F 2
Ionization Energy Ionization Energy = the energy needed to remove a valence electron. Metals = giving Non-Metals = greedy
Electronegativity Electronegativity = the desire of an atom for an electron.
Valence Electrons As you go down a group, the valence electrons remain the same.
Valence Electrons Bonding: Group 11 + ionNa 1+ Group 22 + ionMg 2+ Group 14 four covalent bonds (carbon) Group ion w/ metal covalent w/nonmetal Group ion Group 18 no bondingstable octet
Reactivity Reactivity = how fast the element reacts. Metallic gives electronsNa + ion Nonmetallic gets electronsF - ion Semimetals can give or get electrons Noble Gases don’t react
Noble Gas: Don’t React
Transition Metals Sc Ti Inner shells (lower energy level) fill before completing higher outer levels. (d-sublevel) Properties don’t change much as you go across. Make compounds with color. Some have multiple oxidation states Cr, Mn, Ti, V Electrons for bonding come from 2 outer shells.
