In general, why are atoms that are farther to the right on the
periodic table more electronegative? Additionally, why
does the size of the atom affect its electronegativity?
Atoms of two adjacent elements in the periodic table are in the
ground state. Both atoms have a total of 10 d electrons. Atom A has
no p electrons in its valence shell but atom B has one electron in
the p subshell of its valence shell. Element A is ___ and element B
is ___.
Consider neutral molybdenum atoms. On the periodic table,
molybdenum is shown as42 Mo 95.94a. Based on the info provided above, what is the most abundant
isotope of molybdenum?b. How many protons and neutrons are there in the nucleus of
this isotope?c. Write the electron configuration of a neutral molybdenum
atom, first in full, and then using the shorthand form. (Give the
expected e- configuration).d. How many valence electrons does a neutral molybdenum
have?
Add the periodic trend of electronegativity to your periodic
table.
On your periodic table underline the elements that make up the
7 diatomic molecules (from chapter 6.6) and add the periodic trends
of ionization energy, atomic size, and metallic character (chapter
4.8).
