Trends in Electron Affinity (EA)
Electron Affinity (EA) is the energy change
that occurs when 1 mol of electrons is added to
1 mol of gaseous atoms or ions.
Atoms with a low EA tend to form cations,
while atoms with a high EA tend to form
anions
Trend are not as regular as those for atomic size
and IE

Trends in Electron Affinity (EA)

  • Electron Affinity (EA) is the energy change that occurs when 1 mol of electrons is added to 1 mol of gaseous atoms or ions.
  • Atoms with a low EA tend to form cations , while a toms with a high EA tend to form anions
  • Trend are not as regular as those for atomic size and IE

Electron affinities of the main-group

elements (in kJ/mol)

Summary: Trends in 3 atomic

properties

Trends in Metallic Behavior

Metals tend to lose electrons.

  • Lower IE Nonmetals tend to gain electrons.
  • More negative EA.

Noble Gas Electron Configurations

Transition Metal Ions

  • When a cation is formed from a transition metal, electrons are removed first from the ns orbital, then from the (n-1)d orbital.

Fe ([Ar]4s^2 3d^6 ) → Fe2+^ ([Ar]3d^6 ) + 2e-

Fe ([Ar]4s^2 3d^6 ) → Fe3+^ ([Ar]3d^5 ) + 3e-

Learning Check

  • Write the condensed electron configuration of each transition metal ion, and predict whether it is paramagnetic or not: a) V3+^ (Z=23)

b) Cd2+^ (Z=48)

[Kr] 4 d^10 ;

not paramagnetic

Ionic Size vs Atomic Size

  • Ionic radius increases down a group as n increases.
  • Within an isoelectronic series, ion size decreases with increasing nuclear charge. 3- > 2- > 1- > 1+ > 2+ > 3+
