What do you think electron shielding might mean?
The shielding inner electrons provide the valence
(outer) electrons from the attraction of the nucleus.

More energy levels = more shielding

Atomic Structure and the PToE

The unreactivity of noble gases is attributed to the octet rule.

Octet Rule = atoms are stable when they have 8 valence electrons

Sodium, a Group 1 element, has one | two | seven | eight valence electron(s). It can easily

react with chlorine, a Group 17 element, which has one | two | seven | eight valence

electron(s). During bonding, each sodium atom gains one | gains seven | loses one | loses
seven electron(s) to become stable, and each chlorine atom gains one | gains seven | loses

one | loses seven electron(s) to become stable.

Other elements need to gain, lose, or share electrons to meet the octet rule.

Chemistry Name Game

Atomic Structure and the PToE

What do you think ionization energy might mean?

Energy required to remove a valence electron from an atom.

Affected by nuclear charge and electron shielding.

More nuclear charge = higher ionization energy

Higher electron shielding = lower ionization energy

How does ionization energy change…

across a period?

Increases

down a group?

Decreases

Multiple Choice

Magnesium and aluminum | Phosphorus and sulfur have a greater ionization energy because their atoms have more protons than silicon has. The additional electrons do not increase shielding because their valence shells are the same as | different from those of the outer electrons of silicon.

 

Magnesium and aluminum | Phosphorus and sulfur have a smaller ionization energy because their atoms have fewer protons than silicon. Germanium has a smaller | larger ionization energy because the shielding effect on its outermost electron is greater than that of silicon.
