The inner electrons shield the valence The inner electrons shield the valence electronselectrons (outermost electrons) from the (outermost electrons) from the positive charge of the nucleus.positive charge of the nucleus.

This causes a reduction in attraction This causes a reduction in attraction between the nucleus and the valence between the nucleus and the valence electronselectrons so that the valence electrons so that the valence electrons are held more loosely.are held more loosely.

Atomic RadiusAtomic RadiusThe atomic radius is the distance from

the atomic nucleus to the atom’s outer “surface”.

The atomic radius gets gradually smaller with increasing atomic number.

Ionic RadiusIonic RadiusWhen metals lose

electrons they become smaller due to the nuclear charge being larger than the number of electrons. Electrons are held tighter.

When nonmetals gain electrons they become larger due to the nuclear charge being less than the number of electrons. Electrons are held looser.

ElectronegativityElectronegativity

Electronegativity is thought of as an atom’s “electron pulling power.”

Electronegativity is thought of as an atom’s “electron pulling power.”

ElectronegativityElectronegativity

The greater an atom’s electronegativity, the greater its ability to pull electrons towards itself when bonded.

.Fluorine has the highest electronegativity.
