THE PERIODIC TRENDS Essential questions/concepts Define atomic radius, ionic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity. What are the trends among the elements for atomic radii, ionic radii, ionization energy, and electronegavitiy?
HOW DO YOU FIND THE SIZE OF AN ATOM? Where do you start to measure? The electron cloud doesn t have a clearly defined edge. They get around this by measuring more than 1 atom at a time.
ATOMIC RADIUS } Radius Atomic Radius is half the distance between adjacent nuclei in metals and of identical atoms in nonmetals.
Atomic Radius Trend within a group Hydrogen (1s 1 ) Lithium (1s 2 2s 1 ) Atoms get larger going down a group Sodium (1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 1 ) Shielding Effect
WHAT CAUSES THE ATOMIC RADIUS TO INCREASE AS YOU MOVE DOWN A GROUP? H Li As we increase the atomic number (or go down a group)... each atom has another energy level, so the atoms get bigger. Na K Rb

What causes the atomic radius to decrease as you move across a period left-to-right? Going from left to right across a period, the size gets smaller. Electrons are in the same energy level. But, there is more nuclear charge. Outermost electrons are pulled closer. Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar

WHAT ARE IONS? Atoms can gain or lose electrons. When they do, they form ions. An ion is an atom (or group of atoms) that has a positive or negative charge.
IONS Metals tend to LOSE electrons, from their outer energy level. Removal of the electron form positive ions (atoms with a + charge) are called cations. (pronounced cat-eye-on ) Nonmetals tend to GAIN one or more electrons. Adding electrons form negative ions (atoms with a - charge) are called anions. (pronounced an-eye-on )
IONS Sodium loses one: there are now more protons (11) than electrons (10). The charge is written as a number followed by a plus sign: Na 1+ Now named a sodium ion Chlorine will gain one electron Protons (17) no longer equals the electrons (18), so a charge of -1 Cl 1- is re-named a chloride ion

IONIC RADIUS When atoms lose electrons, and form cations, they will have a smaller radius. When atoms gain electrons, and form anions, they will have a larger radius.
IONIC RADIUS TRENDS Left-to-right across a period, the size of the positive ion decrease and size of the negative ion increase. As you move down a group, the ionic radii of both positive and negative ions increase.

Electron Affinity A + e - A - + E Measure of an atom s attraction, or affinity, for an extra electron. Electron affinity increases within a period from left to right. As one goes down a group, electron affinity decreases.
