Document Summary

Chem 130: general chemistry: macroscopic investigations and reaction principles - States that when the elements are arranged by atomic number, their physical and chemical properties vary periodically. An atom does not have a definite size, however there are general trends in size of atomic radii. Within each period (horizontal row), the atomic radius tends to decrease with increasing atomic number (nuclear charge) The largest atom in a period is a group ia atom and the smallest is a noble-gas atom. Within each group (vertical column), the atomic radius tends to increase with the period number. The atomic radius increases greatly going from any noble-gas atom to the following group ia atom. The positive charge that an electron experiences from the nucleus, equal to the nuclear charge but reduced by any shielding or screening from any interviewing electron distribution. The minimum energy needed to remove the highs-energy (/the outermost) electron from the neutral atom in the gaseous state.
