Review The elements of the Periodic Table are arranged by: Periods – the number of energy levels. Groups – the number of valence electrons. Blocks – the orbital they are filling. Atoms can gain or lose electrons. Metallic atoms lose e - and form cations. Nonmetallic atoms gain e - and form anions.

Atomic Radius How big is an atom and why do we need to know? Atomic radius – distance from center of atom to its outer electrons. Atomic radius has an affect on the chemical properties of an atom Decreases going left to right in a period. More protons increases the pull on outer electrons Increases going down in a group. More energy levels added makes the atom larger The largest atom, therefore, is The smallest atom is Francium. Helium
Atomic Radii in Period 2 Li Be B B C C N N O O F F Ne More protons means outer electrons are pulled in closer! F F Cl Br I I At More energy levels means greater atomic size!
Atomic Radii General Trend Radius Increases Radius Decreases Radius decreases Radius increases
Ionic Radius Ionic Radius – the distance from the center of an ion to its outermost electrons In general, ionic radius follows the same trend as atomic radius Cations are smaller than their atoms. – Losing electrons from outer shell makes them smaller Anions are larger than their atoms. – gaining electrons expands their outer shell
Ionization Energy Ionization Energy – the energy required to remove 1 electron from an atom. – Increases going left-to-right in a period More protons increases attraction on outer electrons – Decreases going down in a group More energy levels make outer electrons harder to hold – The element with the highest ionization energy is Helium
Electronegativity ● Electronegativity (EN) – The ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond ● Increases going left-to-right in a period ● More protons increases attraction for electrons of other elements ● Decreases going down in a group. ● More energy levels will shield electrons of other elements from the positive nucleus ● Noble gases do not naturally form chemical bonds ● The element with the highest Electronegativity is Fluorine
Review ● Atomic radius and ionic radius decrease left-to-right in a period ● Ionization energy and Electronegativity increase left-to-right in a period ● The reason for these trends left-to-right is due to increasing number of protons, ● additional protons pull outer electrons in closer ● Atomic radius and ionic radius increase going down a group ● Ionization energy and electronegativity decrease going down a group ● the reason for these trends top-to-bottom is due to increasing energy levels, or layers, of electrons ● additional layers increase the atomic size, and shield the outer electrons from the positive nucleus
