  1. ENC Practice

  2. If ENC increases, size _____ • Size decreases • ENC pulls the electrons in tighter, therefore the total size of the atom (created by the electron cloud) is smaller

  3. What happens to Electron Affinity as ENC decreases • Electron Affinity decreases as ENC decreases • Electron Affinity is the change in energy as an atom gains an electron • If an atom “wants” an electron more (higher ENC), it will release more energy when it gains the electron

  4. Why do atoms get larger as you go down a family? • There are the same number of valence electrons, so they all have approximately the same ENC • As you go down a period, an extra layer of electrons are added (you increase energy levels) • Extra energy levels need space, so the atom gets bigger

  5. Which element has the highest ENC – Si, I, Mg, Al? • ENC ~ # valence electrons • I has 7 valence electrons – ENC ~ 7 • Si has 4 valence electrons – ENC ~ 4 • Al has 3 valence electrons – ENC ~ 3 • Mg has 2 valence electrons – ENC ~ 2

  6. Which element has the highest ionization energy – Se, Ba, Rb, Cl • Higher ENC -> higher IE • Se has 6 valence electrons – ENC ~ 6 • Ba has 2valence electrons – ENC ~ 2 • Rb has 1 valence electrons – ENC ~ 1 • Cl has 7 valence electrons – ENC ~ 7

  7. Which atom will become a negative ion easiest – O, Xe, Ca, Li • O has 6 valence electrons, wants 2 more, has the best electron affinity • Xe has a higher ENC, but has 8 valence electrons and wants no more
