Decreasing Atomic Size Across a Period
• As the attraction between the (+) nucleus and the (–) valence electrons , the atomic size . Greater coulombic attraction.
• From left to right, size decreases because there is an increase in nuclear charge and Effective Nuclear Charge (# protons – # core electrons).
• Each valence electron is pulled by the full ENC

Sizes of ions: electron repulsion
• Valence electrons repel each other.
9 +
• When an atom becomes a anion (adds an electron to its valence shell) the repulsion between valence electrons increases without changing ENC
• Thus, F– is larger than F

IsoelectronicIsoelectronic - all species have the same number of electrons.
Can you come up with another isoelectronic series of five elements?
p = 8n = 8e = 10
p = 9n = 9e = 10
p = 10n = 10e = 10
p = 11n = 11e = 10
p = 12n = 12e = 10
