Order the following from smallest to highest ionization energy. Se Co Ca Kr K

  K < Ca < Co < Se < Kr 

smallest               highest

100

What is the Octet rule

The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell. When atoms have fewer than eight electrons, they tend to react and form more stable compounds. When discussing the octet rule, we do not consider d or f electrons.

Order the following from smallest to largest radius. S Ar Mg Al P

  Ar < S < P < Al < Al 

smallest               largest

What is Lattice Energy?

Lattice energy is the energy required to separate 1 mol of an ionic solid into gaseous ions. Lattice energy is a measure of the strength of the ionic bond.

What are the trends of Atomic Radius, Electron Affinity and Ionization Energy from across the period and down the group

Atomic Radius:

  • Across a Period (Left to Right): Atomic radius generally decreases across a period.

  • Down a Group (Top to Bottom): Atomic radius generally increases down a group.  


    Electron Affinity and Ionization Energy:

  • Increases across the period

  • Decreases down the group

Write the full electronic configuration and the condensed electron configuration for the following:

Fe^2+

Cu+

Fe^2+=1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d6 or (Ar) 3d6

Cu+= 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 or (Ar) 3d10

What are some properties of Ionic Compounds?

• Ionic compounds tend to be hard, rigid, and brittle, with high melting points. 

• White crystalline solids 

• Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in the solid state. 

– In the solid state, the ions are fixed in place in the lattice and do not move. 

• Ionic compounds conduct electricity when melted or dissolved. 

– In the liquid state or in solution, the ions are free to move and carry a current.

B) larger the average distance from the nucleus and the lower the orbital energy. 

C) larger the average distance from the nucleus and the higher the orbital energy. 

D) smaller the average distance from the nucleus and the lower the orbital energy.
