Atomic Radius, Forces of Attraction, and Ionization Energy

Front

Loosely held electrons require _________ ionization energy as tightly held electrons.

Back

less

Front

As you move down a family (from top to bottom), the force of attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons _________.

Back

Decreases

Front

Which atom has the highest Ionization energy?

Back

O (Oxygen)

Front

As you move across a period (left to right), ionization energy _________.

Back

increases

Front

Would you expect ions of an atom with high electronegativity to be an anion or cation?

Back

Anion

Front

Define atomic radius.

Back

The distance from the nucleus of an atom to the outermost shell of electrons.

Front

What is ionization energy?

Back

The energy required to remove an electron from an atom in its gaseous state.

Front

How does atomic radius change as you move down a group in the periodic table?

Back

It increases due to the addition of electron shells.

Front

What trend is observed in ionization energy as you move from left to right across a period?

Back

Ionization energy increases due to increased nuclear charge.

Front

What is the relationship between atomic radius and ionization energy?

Back

As atomic radius increases, ionization energy generally decreases.
