CM-UY 1004 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Ionic Radius, Alkaline Earth Metal, Electronegativity

29 views4 pages

Document Summary

When a metal forms an ion and loses its valence electrons, its ionic radius decreases, since it loses a principle energy level. When a nonmetal forms an ion, there is an increase in atomic radius since there are more electrons, and they repel each other and spread out. Electronegativity: a measure of an atom"s attraction for electrons when bonded to another atom: electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases from top to bottom. Hydrogen is unique because although it is in group 1, it doesn"t have group 1"s properties. Hydrogen can form cations or anions (with metals), or it can form covalent bonds. Group 1 metals are the alkali metals and group 2 metals are the alkaline earth metals. They are pretty much always found in compounds, since they are very reactive. There is a progression of non-metallic to metallic properties from top to bottom.
