Why are the ionization energies of the Noble Gases so high? |
Noble gases have a complete outer main energy level and are very stable. They would require lots of energy to remove an electron |
|
Explain the trend in Atomic Radius as you go down a group. |
As you go down a group the atomic radius increases b/c atoms are adding in main energy levels. |
|
Why does Ionization energy increase with decreasing atomic radius? |
Smaller atoms gave a stronger attraction between the nucleus and valence electrons, so they have higher ionization energy. |
|
Define Electronegativity |
A measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons. |
|
Define Ionization energy |
The energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom of an element. |
|
Define Atomic Radius |
1/2 the distance between the nuclei of identical atoms that are bonded together (Atomic Size) |
