Definition
atomic number = # of protons
Term
core charge
Definition

euqal to the atomic number 'Z' minus the total number of electrons in the INNER SHELLS

 

ie. increases in 3rd period from 1(11-10) to 7(17-10)

 

core charge way higher in group 7!!

Term

sizes of atoms

Definition

determined by the position of the valence shell

Term
ionic bond vs covalent
Definition

IONIC 

-when cations and anions are glued together by a strong electrical force

-these are much stronger that covalent bonds

-the breaking of old bonds is always accompanied by the formation of stronger new bonds

 

i.e. Li2O

 

 ionic-electrons pretty much completely lost or gained

covalent bonds: electrons are shared

Term
Effective Nuclear Charge
Definition

 not the same as core charge

Zeff=Z-S

-can be used to explain important periodic trends

 

 

depends on how many electrons are shielding a valence electron from the inside

 

i.e. lose first electron... Zeff will be lower than when you lose the second electron, because there is one less that is shielding

 

-this means that there will be more ionization energy required, and more nuclear attraction

Term
