Document Summary

Related to increasing n down a column: be able to fully explain relationship of n to periodic trend. The progressive increase in the energy of the valence electron results in a progressive decrease in ionization. Electron affinity (ea: the energy released when electron is added to a gaseous neutral atom (forms an anion, (cid:4666)(cid:4667)+ (cid:1857) (cid:4666)(cid:4667), means energy is released when an electron is added. Electronegativity (: ability of an atom in a molecule to attract another atom"s electrons, = (1st ie + ea) Atomic radii: the size of atoms (and ions) are determined by the volumes occupied by their electrons, decreases across a row, as z* increases across a row, the valence electrons are pulled closer so the volume shrinks. Increases down a column: as n increases down a group, additional core electrons are added, the most probable radius of the valence electrons increases and the volume occupied by the electrons expands.
