|
Atomic Radius |
The distance from the center of the nucleus to the outermost valence electron |
|
|
First Ionization Energy |
The energy required to remove a valence electron from the atom. This creates a cation. This trend applies best to metals. |
|
|
Electron Affinity |
The energy released as an atom gains an electron to become lower in potential energy (more stable). This makes an anion. This trend applies best to non metals. |
|
|
Electronegativity |
The ability of an atom (via nucleus) to attract bonding electron pairs. |
|
|
Neil's Bohr |
Electrons revolve around nucleus in orbits of fixed energy. Electrons must have specific amounts of energy at each level. When electrons absorb light that has a specific energy, they jump orbits. |
