Document Summary
Elements in same column contain same amount of electrons in valance orbitals. Mendeleev noticed pattern in groups of elements, arranged them in the periodic table. Effective nuclear charge (zeff): a net attraction that is the result of the nuclear attraction decreased by the electron-electron repulsions. Effective nuclear charge increases from left to right and less so from top to bottom. Bonding atomic radius: equal to half the bond distance (the distance between the nuclei of two atoms) Radius increases from right to left and from top to bottom. Isoelectric series: group of ions all containing the same number of electrons. Ionization energy: the minimum energy required to remove an electron from the ground state of the isolated gaseous atom or ion. Ionization energies are successively higher as electrons are removed. There is a sharp increase in ionization energy when an inner shell electron is removed.
