Atomic radius across a period
Atomic radius across a period
Atomic radius decreases across a period because the increasing nuclear charge (more protons) attracts the outer electrons more strongly, despite them being in the same shell.
Atomic radius down a group
Atomic radius down a group
Atomic radius increases down a group because the outer electrons are further from the nucleus due to additional electron shells, reducing the attraction.

Study Notes
Atomic Radius Trends
- Atomic radius decreases across each period due to increasing nuclear charge and similar shielding.
- Atomic radius increases down each group due to increasing electron shells and decreasing attraction forces.
Orbital Definitions
- Orbital: a region within an atom that can hold up to two electrons with opposing spins.
- Subshells: s (1 orbital), p (3 orbitals), d (5 orbitals)
Quantum Shells
- The first three quantum shells have 14 orbitals.
Electron Configurations
- Examples of electron configurations are provided (29Cu and 24Cr).
Ionization Energy
- Ionization energy: the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous ions.
- Ionization energy increases across a period due to increasing nuclear charge and decreasing shielding.
- Ionization energy decreases down a group due to increasing atomic radius and increasing shielding.
Exceptions in Period 2
- Boron's first ionization energy is less than beryllium's, despite having a greater nuclear charge, due to the outer electron being removed from a higher energy p orbital.
- Oxygen's first ionization energy is less than nitrogen's due to increased electron-electron repulsion within the filled 2p orbitals in oxygen.
Exceptions in Period 3
- Aluminum's first ionization energy is less than magnesium's, despite having a greater nuclear charge, due to the outer electron being removed from a higher energy p orbital.
- Sulfur's first ionization energy is less than phosphorus's due to increased electron-electron repulsion within the filled 3p orbitals.
Polyatomic Ions
- Provides a list of common polyatomic ions with their formulae and charges.
Solubility Rules
- Provides solubility rules for nitrates, sulfates, and halides that are an exception.
Ionic Bonding
- Ionic bond: strong electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions, occurring in all directions.
- High melting and boiling points due to strong attraction.
- Bad conductors of electricity in solid state but good in molten and aqueous states.
- Brittle due to repulsion between ions of same charge during stress.
Polarisation
- Polarisation: distortion of electron density in a negative ion (anion) by a positive ion (cation).
- Polarising power: ability of cation to distort the electron density of the anion.
- Factors which increase polarizing power: smaller size and higher charge of cation.
Types of Covalent Bonds
- Sigma bonds: formed by end-on overlap of orbitals, strong bonds.
- Pi bonds: formed by sideways overlap of p orbitals, weaker bonds.
Shapes of Molecules
- Electron pair repulsion theory explains the shapes of molecules based on repulsion between bonding and lone pairs of electrons.
- Different shapes are associated with different numbers of bonding and lone pairs (e.g., linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, octahedral).
Bond Length and Strength
- Bond length: distance between nuclei of bonded atoms.
- Bond strength: energy required to break one mole of the bond in the gaseous state.
- Shorter bonds have greater bond strength.
Electronegativity
- Electronegativity: ability of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.
- Decreases down the group due to increasing atomic radius and increasing shielding.
- Inceases across a period
Giant Covalent Structures
- Allotropes of carbon (diamond, graphite, graphene) are examples of giant covalent structures.
- Properties of each allotrope are provided in a tabular format (e.g., structure, melting and boiling points, conductivity, hardness).
Metallic Bonding
- Metallic bonding: strong electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and delocalized electrons in a giant metallic lattice.
- High melting and boiling points due to strong attraction.
- Good conductors of electricity and heat due to free-moving delocalized electrons and the flow of kinetic energy.
- Malleable and ductile due to the ability of the layers of positive ions to slide over another.
Molecular and Empirical Formulae
- Provides definitions and examples for both molecular and empirical formulae.
Structural Formulae
- Provides definition and examples for structural formulae.
Addition Reactions
- Addition reactions, of alkenes (and what they produce), the reagents used, and reaction conditions.

- Free radical: a species with an unpaired electron and is uncharged.
Isomers
- Isomers: compounds with same molecular formula but different structures.
- Geometric isomers (alkenes) are discussed.
Alkenes
- Alkenes have pi bonds which is a region of high electron density.
- This makes the alkene molecule attractive to electrophiles.
- Reactivity of alkenes is discussed (i.e. halogenation, oxidation).
Mass Spectroscopy
- Mass spectroscopy is a method used to analyze compounds. The data from a mass spectroscopy experiment determines the relative abundance of isotopes.
- Isotopes in Chlorine are discussed.
Incineration
- Incineration advantages and disadvantages are provided.
