 As
Reactivity for Metals
you go down a group for metals
the number of energy levels
increase.
 Because of this, reactivity increases
because the atom is more willing to
give away its electron (react).
3.Nonmetalic Trends: Gain electrons

Nonmetals on right side, form anions

Going right elements are more
nonmetallic (better gainers of electrons)

Going UP elements become more
nonmetallic (want to gain)
8. Reactivity nonmetals: Gain e

The reason Across = fill the energy level

Going UP a group, nonmetals have
same valence but fewer total electrons

Flourine is the most reactive nonmetal.

Atomic Size
• Size increases, down a group.
• Because electrons are added into
additional energy levels, there is less
attraction.
• Size decreases across a period.
• Because, increased effective nuclear
charge.
13
Atomic Size
Size decreases across a period owing
to increase in Z*. Each added electron
feels a greater and greater + charge.

a cation.
• CATIONS are SMALLER than the
atoms from which they come.
• The electron/proton attraction
has gone UP and so size
DECREASES.

Forming
an anion.
• ANIONS are LARGER than the atoms
from which they come.
• The electron/proton attraction has
gone DOWN and so size INCREASES.
• Trends in ion sizes are the same as
atom sizes.

Ionization Energy
IE = energy required to remove an electron
from an atom in the gas phase.

Ionization Energy
IE = energy required to remove an electron
from an atom in the gas phase.
Mg (g) + 738 kJ ---> Mg+ (g) + e-
Mg+ (g) + 1451 kJ ---> Mg2+ (g) +
eMg+ has 12 protons
and only 11
electrons. Therefore, IE for Mg+ > Mg.

Ionization Energy
1st IE: Mg (g) + 735 kJ ---> Mg+ (g) + e2nd IE: Mg+ (g) + 1451 kJ ---> Mg2+ (g) + e-
3rd IE: Mg2+ (g) + 7733 kJ ---> Mg3+ (g) + eEnergy cost is very high to dip into a
shell of lower n (core electrons).
This is why ox. no. = Group no.

Trends in Ionization Energy
• IE decreases down a
group
• Because size increases.
• IE increases across a period
• Because effective nuclear
charge increases

Electron Affinity
A few elements GAIN
electrons to form anions.
Electron affinity is the energy
involved when an atom
gains an electron to form an
anion.
X(g) + e- ---> X-(g)
E.A. = ∆E

Trends in Electron Affinity
• Affinity for electron
increases across a
period (EA becomes
more negative).
• Affinity decreases
down a group (EA
becomes less
negative).

Electronegativity
• So how is this different from
electron affinity?
• Electron Affinity – is rating of how
well an atom wants to gain an
electron
• Electronegativity – is rating of how
well an atom keeps the electron
once it is bonded to another atom
