| A | B |
| periodic table | arrangement of elements in order of thier atomic # so that elements with similar proerties fall in same column |
| periodic law | physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of atomic #'s |
| atomic radius | 1/2 distance from nucleus of identical atoms bonded together |
| ion | atom or group of bonded atoms |
| ionization | process of forming an atom |
| ionization energy | energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom |
| /\> | ionization energy |
| electron affinity | energy change that occurs when an electron is aquired by a neutral atom |
| \/< | electron affinity |
| cation | positive ion |
| anion | negative ion |
| \/< | ionic radiii |
| valence electrons | availible to be lost or gained |
| electronegative | measure of an atom in a chem. compound to attract electrons |
| /\> | electronegativity |
| chemical bond | mutual electrical attraction between nuclei and valence electrons that binds the atoms together |
| ionic bonding | chemical bonding thta results from electrical attraction between large #'s of cations and anions |
