Periodicity (Atomic radii, ionic radii, Trends across the periodic table) Chapter 5
Atomic Radii - the distance between the nucleus and the outer most shell for atoms
Group 1: It increases as the elements become bigger down the group since more
electrons mean more electron shells basically.
Group 7: The same is true for halogens as for alkalis. The elements increase in size down
the group. This is due to more electrons means more full shells which means that the
nucleus of elements attract the outermost electron/s less down the group.
As you move across a period, atomic radius decreases
oAs you go across a period, protons are added to the atom and creates a higher
effective nuclear charge in which the electrons are pulled closer to the nucleus
Ionic Radii - the distance between the nucleus and the outer most shell for ions
Anions - are larger than their atom counterparts
oElectron-electron repulsion forces them to spread further apart
oElectrons outnumber protons, so the protons don’t have enough charge to hold
them in place
Cations - are smaller than their respective atoms
oLess electron electron repulsion, so they can come closer together
oProtons outnumber electrons, so they pull them closer to the nucleus
oIf the electron configuration of the cation is that of a noble gas, then an entire
energy level is lost, in this case, it is much smaller than its atom

Ionization Energy
Definition: The energy required to remove a mole the outermost electron from a neutral atom
in its grounds state in kJ/mol
Trends
1.As you move down a group, first ionization energy decreases
a. Electrons are further from the nucleus and easier to remove
b. "Shielding effect" inner electrons at lower E levels block the protons force of
attraction, which makes it easier to remove electrons on the outside
2.As you move across a period, first ionization energy increases

Document Summary

Periodicity (atomic radii, ionic radii, trends across the periodic table) chapter 5. Atomic radii - the distance between the nucleus and the outer most shell for atoms. Group 1: it increases as the elements become bigger down the group since more electrons mean more electron shells basically. Group 7: the same is true for halogens as for alkalis. The elements increase in size down the group. This is due to more electrons means more full shells which means that the nucleus of elements attract the outermost electron/s less down the group. Ionic radii - the distance between the nucleus and the outer most shell for ions. Anions - are larger than their atom counterparts: electron-electron repulsion forces them to spread further apart o. Electrons outnumber protons, so the protons don"t have enough charge to hold them in place. Cations - are smaller than their respective atoms o.
