Atomic
Radius
Radius = half the distance between two
nuclei of a diatomic molecule.


Influenced by three factors.
Energy Level
›

Charge on nucleus
›

Higher energy level is further away.
More charge pulls electrons in closer.
Shielding
›
Layers of electrons shield from nuclear
pull.

The electron on the
outside energy level has
to look through all the
other energy levels to see
the nucleus


The electron on the
outside energy level has
to look through all the
other energy levels to
see the nucleus.
A second electron has
the same shielding.



As we go down a
group
Each atom has
another energy
level,
So the atoms get
bigger.

As you go across a period the radius gets
smaller.
Same energy level.
More nuclear charge.
Outermost electrons are closer.



Cations form by losing electrons.
Cations are smaller that the atom they come
from.
Metals form cations.
Cations of representative elements have noble
gas configuration.



Anions form by gaining electrons.
Anions are bigger that the atom they come
from.
Nonmetals form anions.
Anions of representative elements have noble
gas configuration.




The amount of energy required to completely
remove an electron from a gaseous atom.
Removing one electron makes a +1 ion.
The energy required is called the first
ionization energy.




The second ionization energy is the energy
required to remove the second electron.
Always greater than first IE.
The third IE is the energy required to remove a
third electron.
Greater than 1st of 2nd IE.

The greater the nuclear charge the greater IE.
Distance from nucleus increases IE
Filled and half filled orbitals have lower
energy, so achieving them is easier, lower IE.
Shielding



As you go down a group first IE
decreases because
The electron is further away.
More shielding.





All the atoms in the same period have the same
energy level.
Same shielding.
Increasing nuclear charge
So IE generally increases from left to right.
Exceptions at full and 1/2 fill orbitals.

Full Energy Levels are very low energy.
Noble Gases have full orbitals.
Atoms behave in ways to achieve noble gas
configuration.
Electron Affinity - the energy change
associated with the addition of an electron
 Affinity tends to increase across a period
 Affinity tends to decrease as you go down
in a period
Electrons farther from the nucleus
experience less nuclear attraction
Some irregularities due to repulsive
forces in the relatively small p orbitals
Table of Electron Affinities




The tendency for an atom to attract electrons to
itself when it is chemically combined with
another element.
How fair it shares.
Big electronegativity means it pulls the electron
toward it.
Atoms with large negative electron affinity
have larger electronegativity.



The further down a group the farther the
electron is away and the more electrons an
atom has.
More willing to share.
Low electronegativity.

Metals are at the left end.
They let their electrons go easily
Low electronegativity
At the right end are the nonmetals.
They want more electrons.
Try to take them away.
High electronegativity.
Ionization energy, electronegativity
Electron affinity INCREASE
Atomic size increases, shielding constant
Ionic size increases
