Effective nuclear charge
Definition
Pull/force an electron "feels" from the nucleus due to protons
Term
The pull on electrons is greater when
Definition
closer to the nucleus, or less core electrons
Term
the pull on electrons is weaker when
Definition
farther from nucleus, or more core electrons
Term
which electrons feel more Zeff?

Term
Atomic radius
Definition
Gives indication of size of atom
Term
The atomic radius is larger when what is weaker?
Definition
Zeff
Term
The atomic radius is smaller when
Definition
The Zeff is greater
Term
What causes the atomic radius to be larger or smaller?
Definition
The number of electrons inbetween the valence and nucleus
Term
Which ion is smaller and why
Definition
Cations- they lose electrons
Term
Which ion is larger and why
Definition
Anions- they gain electrons
Term
Which is larger- Br- or Kr?
Definition
Bromine, both have the same amount of electrons but Krypton has more protons, so Bromine is larger
Term
Which is larger- Li or Ne?
Definition
Ne
Term
Ionization energy
Definition
Energy required to remove an electron from an atom
Term
As Zeff increases, what gets stronger?
Definition
Ionization energy
Term
Why does IE become stronger when Zeff increases?
Definition
When an electron is pulled away, the Zeff force gets stronger due to protons, so the energy required to pull away an electron is greater.
Term
In terms of heat, IE is
Definition
endothermic
Term
Why is IE endothermic?
Definition
IE means it's doing work on the system in order to remove the electron
Term
Electron affinity
Definition
Change in energy when an atom gains an electron to form an anion
Term
In terms of heat, electron affinity is
Definition
either exothermic or endothermic
Term
When it comes to electron affinity, what family tends to be exothermic?
Definition
noble gases
Term
EA becomes more _____ across a period
Definition
negative
Term
Negative energy in terms of EA tells us what?
Definition
It's an exothermic reaction
Term
Periodic trend
Definition
Trend occurring from left to right- rows
Term
Periodic trend for atomic radius
Definition
As the # of electrons goes up, the radius becomes larger.
Term
Periodic trend for ionization energy
Definition
As you go from left to right, ionization energy takes less force because there are more electrons and less force from Zeff
Term
