electronegativity revision

    • bond polar? yes
    • molecule polar? yes
    • molecular non-polar
  • (pretend this is non symmetrical in the shape of / \)

    what is going on?! study in your own time please future thomas

ionisation energy

  • required to remove an electron.

  • there is an attraction between electron and nucleus.

  • there could be multiple ionisation energy, first second third blah blah blah

  • first ionisation energy

    • the first ionisation is the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms.

    • for unknown elements for unknown element M, the equation goes as follows:

    • ionisation energy is a measurement to the reactivity of metals.

    • when metals react they lose electrons (removed) which takes ionisation energy.

    • G1 only needs the first ionisation energy, for group 2 you need first & second ionisation energy.

    • trends of first ionisation energies of the group 2 elements.

      • ionisation energy has a general decrease as you move down through groups of elements.
    • trends of first ionisation energy of the period 3 elements

      • nuclear attraction increases
      • atomic radius decreases
      • atomic number (proton number) increases
      • there is a general increase in the first ionisation energies across period 3.
      • shielding does not change significantly.
      • effective nuclear charge therefore increases.
      • the greater attraction between nucleus and the outermost electrons means more energy is required to remove an electron.
    • EXTENSION: why sulfur and aluminium has lower first ionisation energies.

      • Mg: 2,8,2

      • Al: 2,8,3

      • 1s22s22p63s2

      • 1s22s22p63s23p1

      • Phosphor

        • 15-10 = 5
        • 2,8,5
        • 1s22s22p63s23p3
      • Sulfur

        • 16 - 10 = 6
        • 2,8,6
        • 1s22s22p63s23p4
