Cards

Term
Define Zeff
Definition

The Effective Nuclear charge, Calculated by

Z - S (# of protons - # of sheilding electrons)

Term
Atomic Radius
Definition

Cations have a larger radius than Anions

Radii get larger as you move left and down

Term
Ionization Energy
Definition

The energy required to remove

an electron from an atom

 

It rises as you move up and right

on the periodic table

(takes more energy to take from a non-metal)

Term
Electron Affinity
Definition
the energy change when an electron is added to the neutral atom to form a negative ion.
Term
Allotrope
Definition
property of some chemical elements to exist in two or more different forms
Term
Lattice Energy
Definition
(anion charge)(cation charge)/ distance
Term
Resonance
Definition
a way of describing delocalized electrons within certain molecules or polyatomic ions where the bonding cannot be expressed by one single Lewis structure.
Term
Isomer
Definition

compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formulas

Term
Formal Charge
Definition
the charge assigned to an atom in a molecule, assuming that electrons in a chemical bond are shared equally between atoms
Term
FC = V - N - B/2
Definition
V is the number of valence electrons of the atom in isolation (atom in ground state); N is the number of non-bonding electrons on this atom in the molecule; and B is the total number of electrons shared in covalent bonds with other atoms in the molecule
