Document Summary

Che 002a - tetst chapter 8 - periodic table. 12 multiple choice questions: -calculate ionization energy. Electronegativity rydberg equation oxidizing agents reducing agents: desire for atom to gain electron. Related to both ionization energy(>0) and electron affinty(<0) En is prop to (i-ea) reducing agents oxidizing agents electron affinity. Electronegativity: make good acidic oxides like so2 reducing agents rydberg equation nonmetals metals, metals are good at this because they are easily ionized-low ionization energy. Electronegativity oxidizing agents rydberg equation reducing agents: -when tabulated values for ie are given, just add up ie from table. More accurate because these values are experimentally determined adding tabulated values reducing agents electron affinity oxidizing agents. 1/3: -half-filled, no electron electron repulsion through pairing. Filled shells, mimic noble gas type configuration stable shells reducing agents. Electronegativity oxidizing agents: when atoms gains electron which are usually nonmetals, energy required is this. Energy to add electron is negative and increases negatively up and right on pt.
