1.3 Periodic Trends 1) Metallic Character
2) Atomic Radius 3) Ionization Energy 4) Electron Affinity
METALLIC CHARACTER: how much an element behaves like a metal
Trend Across a PeriodMetallic Character decreases
Trend Down a GroupMetallic Character increases
Atomic Radiusthe distance from the center of an atom to the
outer valence shellHowever, the outer shell is a cloud, so really its the distance
between 2 nuclei of 2 atoms divided by 2.

Across a Period:
Effective nuclear charge (Zeff ) is the “positive charge” felt by an electron.
Atomic Radius Across a Period:As the number of protons in the nucleus increases, so does the effective nuclear charge, which causes electrons to be attracted to the nucleus, resulting in a smaller atomic radius.
The Reason for the Trend
3Lidown a group: 3Li
11Na
19K
37Rb
55Cs 11Na
19K
Atomic Radius increases down a group because there are more energy levels
IONIZATION ENERGY:the energy required to remove an electron from an atomhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxXqLzK9vmY
Trend Across a period: INCREASESBecause there are more protons (greater effective nuclear charge) increasing the attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons. More energy is required to overcome this attraction.
Trend Going down a group: DECREASESBecause electrons in the outer level are further from the nucleus (weaker effective nuclear charge), less energy is needed to remove electrons from distant energy levels.
Electron Affinity
The energy absorbed or released when an electron is ADDED to a neutral atom
The electron affinities are expressed as negative values because energy is released in the formation of an ion.
As the values become more negative, the ions become more stable.
Trend: Across a Period: Electron Affinity increases (values are more negative) Why: Greater Effective Nuclear Charge increases the attraction of electrons to the nucleus
Down a Group : Electron Affinity decreasesWhy: Effective Nuclear Charge decreases because of the greater distance from the nucleus.
Question:The first I.E for Na is 495.9eVThe 2nd I.E. for Na is 4560 eVWhy is there a difference?
After Na loses its first electron it is isolectronic with the noble gas Neon. To lose a second electron would mean disrupting a stable ion; therefore the 2nd I.E is much higher.
