Document Summary

Explain periodicity in the chemical properties of elements. Predict the relative ability of atoms to lose or gain electrons. Describe magnetic properties of atoms and/or ions. Periodicity in atomic properties can be understood through orbital size and effective nuclear charge. How effective nuclear charge impacts trends such as: Atomic and ionic size, ionization energy, and electron affinity. Z* or zeff : how the outer electron feels. 2s on li feels +1. 3 charge (not 3+) -- shielded by core 1s electrons. Z* is the nuclear charge experienced by an electron (usually outermost) Z* increases across a period owing to incomplete shielding by inner electrons. Estimate z* = (z- (# of inner electrons) Going down a group drops the effective nuclear charge. Electrons are added to orbitals further from the nucleus -- stronger pull, decreasing radii. Atomic radii increase going across a period from left to right. Higher z* -- pulling the electrons in. Fewer electrons with same z* , size decreases.
