Half of the distance between nucli in covalently bonded diatomic molecule

"covalent atomic radii"

Periodic Trends in Atomic Radius

Radius decreases across a period Increased effective nuclear charge dueto decreased shielding

Radius increases down a group Addition of principal quantum levels

Determination of Atomic Radius:

Table of Table of Atomic Atomic

RadiiRadii

Increases for successive electrons taken from the same atom

Tends to increase across a period

Electrons in the same quantum level do not shield as effectively as electrons in inner levels

    Irregularities at half filled and filled sublevels due to extra repulsion of electrons paired in orbitals, making them easier to remove

Tends to decrease down a groupOuter electrons are farther from thenucleus

Ionization Energy - the energy required to remove an

electron from an atom

Mg+ + 1451 kJ Mg2+ + e-

Mg2+ + 7733 kJ Mg3+ + e-

Table of 1st Ionization Energies

Another Way to Look at Ionization Energy

Affinity tends to increase across a period

Affinity tends to decrease as you go down in a Group or family

Electrons farther from the nucleusexperience less nuclear attraction

Some irregularities due to repulsive forces in the relatively small p orbitals

Electron Affinity - the energy change associated with the addition of an electron

ElectronegativityElectronegativity

A measure of the ability of an atom in a chemicalcompound to attract electrons

Electronegativities tend to increase across a period

Electronegativities tend to decrease down a group or remain the same
