Goals: Chapter 6.8 Periodic Trends in the Properties of Atoms
- Use trends to compare the properties (ionization energy, size, and electronegativity) of atoms
- Explain the trends using electron configurations, nuclear charge, shielding, and distance
Goals: Chapter 6.7 Electron Arrangements in Monatomic Ions
- Determine the likely charges for main group ions
- Explain the likely charges of main group ions using electron configurations
- Describe the difference between valence and core electrons
