Document Summary

Explaining the physical and chemical properties of the elements. Nuclear charge (z) = # of protons in the nucleus of an atom. E ective nuclear charge (ze ) : actual magnitude of positive charge that is. * hydrogen = nuclear charge = e ective nuclear charge. Shielding: electrons are simultaneously attracted to the nucleus & repelled by one another. An electron in a multi electron atom is partially shielding from the positive charge of the nucleus by the other electrons in the atom. Easy to remove the 1st electron but the 2nd electron is more di cult to remove, require more energy. When the charges have opposite signs = negative f = attractive force. When the charges have like signs = positive f = repulsive force. = distance between the nucleus and valence shell of a cation/anion. When an atom loses an electron and becomes a cation. When an atom gains an electron and becomes an anion.
