Periodic Trends

Front

What is ionization energy?

Back

Ionization energy is the energy needed to remove the outermost electron from an atom.

Front

What factor affects Coulombic attraction in atoms of the same group/family?

Back

The distance from the nucleus affects Coulombic attraction in atoms of the same group/family.

Front

What factor affects Coulombic attraction in atoms of the same valence energy level?

Back

The number of protons affects Coulombic attraction in atoms of the same valence energy level.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons from another atom.

Front

How does increasing Coulombic attraction affect electronegativity?

Back

As the Coulombic attraction of an atom increases, the electronegativity of the atom increases.

Front

What is the trend of ionization energy across a period?

Back

Ionization energy generally increases across a period from left to right.

Front

What is the trend of ionization energy down a group?

Back

Ionization energy generally decreases down a group.

Front

What is the trend of electronegativity across a period?

Back

Electronegativity generally increases across a period from left to right.

Front

What is the trend of electronegativity down a group?

Back

Electronegativity generally decreases down a group.

Front

What is the relationship between atomic radius and ionization energy?

Back

As atomic radius increases, ionization energy decreases.
