columb's law

Explanations for periodic properties of atoms are based on ________________ _______, as the positive and negative charges are attracted to each other and like charges repulse. In atoms the combination of protons and electrons leads to several factors being present at the same time, and this makes explanations challenging as you need to consider the relative importance of different things affecting the electrostatic attractions and repulsions. These "things" include the number of protons, the degree to which they are shielded, the location of where the electrons are usually found, and the electron-electron repulsions when electrons interact with each

They get larger, just like the atoms do.

size, reactivity

molecular oxides

Recall that ionic oxides are typically formed between oxygen and metal and are basic in nature, whereas _______________ __________ are formed between oxygen and other nonmetals and are acidic in nature. This means that sorting the elements bonded to oxygen in order of decreasing metallic character will correspond to increasing acidity of the oxide.

energy

Removal of successive electrons always requires more __________ (e.g., Ei3>Ei2>Ei1) because a negative electron is being removed for a successively higher positive charge. This pattern of increasing values for successive ionization energies shows a drastic increase in magnitude when an electron is removed from a completely filled energy level or one that is identical to that of a noble gas.

anion, larger

Similarly, when an atom gains electrons, the resulting __________ is larger owing to both increased electron-electron repulsions and a reduction in Zeff. The more electrons that are gained, the ___________ the ion becomes.

decreased

Simply imagine that the electron experiences a net attraction that is the result of the nuclear attraction _______________ by the electron-electron repulsions.

stability

The amount of energy required to remove an electron is related to the effective nuclear charge and the _____________ of the electron configuration of the atom.

orbital

The electron configuration of an atom tells us how many electrons are in each __________.

Hydrogen and helium both have electrons in the 1s orbital. However, helium has 2 protons and hydrogen only has 1. This means the electrons experience a stronger attraction with the nucleus and they are therefore more difficult to remove.

The ionization enegy for He is larger than the ionization energy for H. What best explains this?

Even though Be has 4 protons and H only one, the Zeff values are closer together because Be has shielding inner electrons. For H Zeff is +1 and for Be it is +2. This might lead you to think that Be would have the higher ionization energy. However, the electron in H is very close to the nucleus (in the 1s orbital) and for Be it is farther away (in the 2s). This closer distance corresponds to a stronger attraction. Also, the two electrons in the 2s orbital experience electron-electron repulsion since you have two negative charges in the same orbital. This is a minor factor, but it is another reason the ionization energy is higher in H.

The ionization energy for hydrogen is greater than the ionization energy for berylium. What best explains this?

cation, smaller

When an atom loses electrons, the resulting __________ is smaller both because the remaining electrons experience a larger Zeff and because these electrons are usually in orbitals closer to the nucleus than the electrons that were lost. The more electrons that are lost, the ____________ the ion becomes.
