Document Summary

Adding of e- to atom/ ion in 1 mol of atoms/ ion, which are in gas form, in ground states. First electron affinity (ea1)- energy change when adding 1 e- to atoms/ ion. Second electron affinity (ea2)- energy change when adding 2nd e- Cl (g) + e- cl- (g) + energy. Sign= exothermic= energy released as thermal. Exothermic because pick up e- from next column. Addition of electron highly favored for large negative ea1. Positive ea1 values= endothermic= energy needs to be supplied for atom/ion to add e- He + e- he- ea1= +48 kj mol-1. Ne + e- ne- ea1= +116 kj mol-1. When chemical bonded to other atoms, electronegativity is the atom"s ability to attract shared e- to itself. Relative measure of atom strength to attract shared e- in a compound. Chemical bonds are formed because atoms want to be more stable and has lower energy than individual atoms.
