Lewis Dot, Electron Configuration, Valence Electrons Trends Revi

Front

What is the Lewis Dot Structure?

Back

A diagram that shows the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.

Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

Electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in forming bonds.

Front

What is ionization energy?

Back

The energy required to remove an electron from an atom or ion.

Front

How does ionization energy trend across a period?

Back

Ionization energy increases across a period from left to right.

Front

How does ionization energy trend down a group?

Back

Ionization energy decreases down a group.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

A measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.

Front

How does electronegativity trend across a period?

Back

Electronegativity increases across a period from left to right.

Front

How does electronegativity trend down a group?

Back

Electronegativity decreases down a group.

Front

What is the Aufbau Principle?

Back

Electrons occupy orbitals of lowest energy first.

Front

What is Hund's Rule?

Back

Every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied before any orbital is doubly occupied.
