2 things that make Earth cooler:
sunlight getting reflected and IR light leaving Earth
albedo
a quantity that measures how much of the light that hits a surface gets reflected
higher albedo

lower albedo
less light reflected, more light absorbed, gets HOTTER
positive feedback
when the effect adds to the cause
negative feedback
when the effect reduces the cause
positive or negative feedback?: as the planet warms, more ice melts, lowering the average albedo of Earth
positive feedback
positive or negative feedback?: as the planet warms, the rate of evaporation from oceans increases, which increases the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere
positive feedback
positive or negative feedback?: as more CO2 dissolves in the ocean, algae populations will increase, so more photosynthesis will occur
negative feedback
positive or negative feedback?: as droughts become more frequent and intense, more forests get destroyed, so there is less wet vegetation for water to evaporate from
positive feedback
greenhouse gases transmit ____
visible light
the more charges there are, the _____ the attractive or repulsive force is
stronger

row
as you go down a column, atomic radius ___
increases
cation
positive ion

that an electron in the atom is easy to remove
as you go down a column on the periodic table, ionization energy ________
decreases
why is it impossible to measure electronegativity for most of the noble gases?
they don't form bonds
more electronegative means that the atom
really wants electrons
as you go down a column on the periodic table, electronegativity ________
decreases
as you go across a row on the periodic table, electronegativity __________
increases
the lower the element's ____, the greater its reactivity
ionization energy
why bigger atoms have lower ionization energy and high reactivity
The bigger an atom is, the farther its valence electrons are from the positively charged nucleus, so the weaker the force of attraction is between its valence electrons and the nucleus, so the easier it is to remove an electron from the atom. Therefore, the bigger a metal atom is, the lower its ionization energy is, and the higher its reactivity is.
for the metals, reactivity ____ as you go down a column of the periodic table
increases
the greater the element's ____, the greater its reactivity
electronegativity
why is the bigger a nonmetal atom is, the lower its electronegativity is, and the lower its reactivity is
the bigger an atom is, the farther its valence electrons are from the positively charged nucleus, so the weaker the force of attraction is between its valence electrons and the nucleus, so the weaker the atom pulls on an attracts other electrons
for the nonmetals, reactivity ____ as you go down a column of the periodic table
decreases
