Atomic Radius and Atomic Structure
Objectives
1-Describe the periodic trend in atomic radius and relate it to atomic structure
2- Describe the periodic trend in electronegativity and relate it to atomic structure
Did you know?
There are atoms with no electronegativity because electro negativity refers to the attraction of atoms of electrons in a compound; elements that do not form are assigned no electronegativity values.
Atomic Radius ≠ Ionization Energy
As you move from left to right on the periodic table, the number of valance electron increase. As the number of E increases P increases.
As positive force increases, the electron get tighter and the radius gets smaller.
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron.
As you move up and down the periodic table, the number of electron shells changes. As the number of shells increases, there is more shielding between the nucleuses the outermost electron increases.
Atomic Radius: is half the distances between 2 identical atoms that are bonded. It is the distance between the nucleus and the outer shell. Electro negativity:
When atoms are bonded together, unless they are 2 identical atoms, one of those atoms is always going to be better at attracting electrons to it.
Electronegativity: is the ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself.
Electronegativity: will increase when it goes from left to right and down to up and will decrease when decreases goes from right to left electronegativity and up to down.
Atomic radius: decreases from left to right and down to up, and increases from right to left and up to down.
Ionization Energy: will increase when it goes from left to right and down to up and will decrease when decreases goes from right to left electronegativity and up to down.
As we move fro, left to right on the periodic table the atomic radius decreases, and as it decreases, the nucleus is better able to attract electrons to it. So, electronegativity increases going from left to right.
As you move from top

    Introduction: According to the Bohr atomic model, electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed paths with specific energies. Each path is therefore often referred to as an “energy level”. Electrons possessing the lowest energy are found in the levels closest to the nucleus. Electrons of higher energy are located in progressively more distant energy levels.…

    What is an atom? An atom is the basic unit of a chemical element, but, did you know what an atom is made out of even smaller particles? An atom is made out of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Aside from that, inside an atom there is a nucleus, and there are also 3 energy levels. Let's start with the nucleus, the nucleus is the very small center core of an atom. The nucleus is located inside the atom, In the center. Within the nucleus, is a group of smaller particles called protons and neutrons. Protons are positive electric charge located inside the nucleus. Neutrons are neutral electric charge or have no charge and are located inside the nucleus with the protons. Now, outside the nucleus, there are 3 energy levels or 3 rings that surround the nucleus and that contain electrons. Electrons are negative electric charges that are located in the energy levels and move rapidly around the nucleus. There are 3 energy levels, 1st,2nd, and 3rd energy levels that can only contain a maxim amount of electrons. The 1st energy level that is closest to the nucleus can only contain 2 electrons maximum. The 2nd energy level is right after the 1st and can only contain 8 electrons maximum and the 3rd energy level is after the 2nd and can only contain 8 electrons maximum too. The positive protons in the nucleus and the negative electrons in the atom balance out each other making the atom neutral and balanced.…

    Atoms are microscopic particles that constitute all matter. Despite their tiny size, however, they can be measured. One way that certain atoms, called ions, are measured, is by ionic radius. The radius is different from an atomic radius and is influenced by the particles' charges. Use the following information to understand this important measurement in chemistry.…
