Question Answer
First ionization energy of an atom (def) The minimum energy required to remove the outermost, most loosely bound electron from one mole of a gaseous element in its neutral ground state
6 factors that influence the First ionization energy of an atom Energy levels, Nuclear charge, Effective nuclear charge, screening effect, atomic radius, stability of full and 1/2 filled sublevels
Explain in relation to FIE: Energy levels The more energy levels the further away the outermost electron will be from nuclear charge. Not held as strongly. Decrease in ionization energy.
Explain in relation to FIE: Nuclear charge The more protons the greater the nuclear charge. A stronger force will increase ionization energy.
Explain in relation to FIE: Effective nuclear charge Nuclear charge when shielding effect is accounted for
Explain in relation to FIE: Screening effect More full inner shells will shield nuclear charge. Decrease in ionisation energy
Explain in relation to FIE: Atomic radius The greater the radius the further the outermost electron is from the nucleus. Less of a hold. Decrease in ionisation energy
Explain in relation to FIE: Stability of full and 1/2 filled sub levels A full sub-level is more stable than a 1/2 filled sub-level. A 1/2 filled sub-level is more stable than a partially filled sub-level. Full or 1/2 filled sublevel will not want to become partially filled. Increase inionization. G2→ full s sub-level. G5→ 1/2 filled p sub-level. (As greater energy is required it proves the existence of sub-levels)
Second Ionisation Energy (def) The minimum energy required to remove the 2nd most outermost, most loosely bound electron from one mole of a charged gaseous species in its ground state
Atomic radius (def) Atomic radius is 1/2 the distance from the centre of nuclei of 2 of the same atoms joined by a single covalent bond
Trend of atomic radius in the periodic table The atomic radius gets bigger as it goes down the periodic table But further down it gets smaller as it goes across the table
4 factors that affect the atomic radius of an atom Energy levels, nuclear charge, effective nuclear charge, screening effect.
Explain in relation to Atomic Radius: Energy levels Increased energy levels means Outermost electrons are further from the nucleus ie greater atomic radius
Explain in relation to Atomic radius: Nuclear charge The larger the nuclear charge, the more the electrons are pulled towards the nucleus. Decrease in atomic radius
Explain in relation to atomic radius: Screening effect The screening effect lessens the pull on the outer electrons from the nucleus. Increase in Atomic radius
Explain in relation to atomic radius: Effective nuclear charge The nuclear charge with the screening effect taken into account
Why does Atomic Radius decrease across the periodic table? Increase in effective nuclear charge, as nuclear charge increases (more protons) but shielding effect doesn't. Same amount of energy levels.
Why does Atomic Radius increase down the periodic table? More energy levels. Change in nuclear charge combatted by increased shielding effect due to more energy levels. Therefore there is a decrease in effective nuclear charge
Electro-negativity (def) The relative attraction an atom has for a shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond
4 Factors that effect the electronegativity of an element Energy levels, Nuclear charge, Effective nuclear charge, Screening effect
Explain in relation to Electronegativity: Energy levels The more energy levels the further away valence electrons are from the nucleus, not held onto as tightly, decrease in electronegativity.
Explain in relation to electronegativity: Nuclear charge The stronger the nuclear charge, the stronger the hold an atom has to valence electrons, increase in electronegativity.
Explain in relation to electronegativity: Screening effect Filled energy levels diminish the nuclear charge on valence electrons, lessening the electronegative value
Explain in relation to electronegativity: Effective nuclear charge Nuclear charge with screening effect taken into account
