Objectives, explanations, and analogies to help students understand the trends of atomic radius, reactivity, and ionization energy in the periodic table. It covers the concepts of Coulomb's Law, electron attraction, and shielding, as well as the differences in reactivity between metals and nonmetals.

Oct 151:31 PM Coulomb's Law Charge: The greater the charges are, the stronger the force of attraction
2 variables: distance and charges Distance: basis stability of atoms and ions and periodic trends

Oct 52:36 PM Reactivity of Nonmetals Therefore, the closer the e is, the easier it is to gain and the more reactive it is. Nonmetals gain e. noble gases are not reactive F I e e more reactive more reactive easier (less energy) to gain 1 e on F Coulomb's Law Distance and Charge less distance and more charge F (Halogen) is more reactive than O e is attracted to F nucleus O F #8 # 8p+^ 9p
