Why do atoms get smaller as you move across a period?
More protons = more pull
greater ENC
Who is larger K or Li and why?
K
More rings = shielding
Who is larger Ca or Ca 2+...why?
Ca... Ca2+ smaller....losing electrons makes radius decrease because of decreased repulsion?
What is a valence electron?
electrons that are found in the outermost energy level.

Who created modern version of periodic table?
Mendeleev
Why do atoms get larger as you go down a group?
adding energy levels= more rings
shielding effect Bruh!
Why does O have a lower ionization energy than N?
2p4 electron creates repulsion which makes e- easier to remove
What is isoelectronic?
Ions will have same number of electrons
Name two exception to ionization trend
B or Al
O or S
In a group (column)
the chemical and physical properties are most likely similar
Why do cations get smaller?
When a cation loses an electron, it has 1 (or more) fewer than it had before. The amount of repulsion between electrons decreases
What is ENC?
positive charge that an electron experience from the nucleus. Increases from left to right across the period
What is Ionization Energy?
the amount of energy required to remove an electron.
Transition Metals (group)
groups 3-12.

What are properties of nonmetals?
elements the do not conduct electricity, are not shiny and do not conduct heat
Why do anions get bigger?
When an anion gains an electron, it has 1 (or more) more than it had before. The amount of repulsion increases between the electrons.
Explain the Shielding Effect
Adding a energy level(ring)
Refers to the protection of valence electrons by core electrons in inner energy levels (distance)
Electronegativity
the ability of an atom to attract electrons when the atom is in a compound
Alkaline Earth Metals (group)
group 2 on the periodic table.

When would you expect to see a jump in successive ionization energy for Si?
the 5th e-, it would be a core electron
core = closer harder to remove
How are atomic radius and ionization energy related?
smaller radius means greater ionization energy
closer the e- the harder it is to remove
Which has a greater ionization energy C or N?
Why?
N- Greater ENC
smaller radius
Higher IE( closer e- easier to remove)
Why is the ionization energy lower for B than Be?
the 2p1 has less penetration into the electron cloud(slightly farther = easier to remove)
What is a core electron?
electrons that are in inner core and are harder to remove
Elements in the same column have similar properties because ______________________ (not a one word answer, an explanation)
they have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital (called valence electrons)
