Last class we learned some terms in chemistry. Let's review them!
Atomic Radius: The atomic radius of a chemical element is a measure of the size of its atoms
Melting Point: The temperature a chemical reaches when it melts
Boling Point: The temperature a chemical reaches when it boils
Ionization Energy: The energy required to move an electron from an atom
Electronegativity: The tendency of an atom or radical to attract electrons in the formation of an ionic bond
The Trend of Periodic Table
- Elements close to each other have similar characteristics
Atomic Radius - radius decreases moving → on the table
- increases moving ↓ (a family)
Melting Point and Boiling Point - elements in the center of the table of highest MP and BP
- Noble gas has the lowest
- Increases moving → until the middle of the table
Ionization Energy - energy increases going ↑ and →
- Noble gases have the highest ionization energy because they have a full valence shell
Electronegativity - energy increases going ↑ and →
Metallic Properties - elements become more metallic going ↓ a family
