Can I read Understanding Ionization and Electronegativity on EtoBox?
Understanding Ionization and Electronegativity is a document available to read on EtoBox.
What is Understanding Ionization and Electronegativity about?
1) Ionization energy increases across periods and decreases down groups due to increased nuclear charge and electrons being farther from the nucleus. 2) Electron affinity is the energy change when a neutral atom acquires an electron. Cations have decreased atomic radii while anions have increased radii. 3) Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a compound. Fluorine has the highest at 3.98. Group 1 is least electronegative and group 17 is most.
