1
New cards

Atomic radius

Radius of an atom

2
New cards

Nuclear charge

Strength of the pull of the positive nucleus

3
New cards

Effective nuclear charge

Strength of the pull of the positive nucleus on its own electrons.

4
New cards

Electron shielding

Full electron shells shield the nucleus’ positive charge from valence shell electrons. It reduces the pull of the nucleus that the valence electrons feel.

5
New cards

Ionisation energy

Amount of energy required to remove an electron

6
New cards

First ionisation energy

How much energy is required to remove a single valence electron.

7
New cards

Electron affinity

Energy change that occurs when electrons are added to elements.

8
New cards

Electronegativity

Nucleus’s pull on the electrons in a chemical bond.
