2. Atomic radius increase but cancelled off by increase in number of protons, but shielding effect increase, FOA decrease |
First ionisation energies do not increase smoothly across period |
Due to presence of subshells |

Size of Anion
1. > Size of Atom 2. Increases down the group |
1. Same number of electron shell but p/e ratio decreases, Effective nuclear charge decreases, expansion of electron cloud
2. Number of protons increases, but electrons in higher/outer shell, more shielding, FOA decreases |

Chances of formation |
higher when amount of energy released high |
Polarisation in ionic bonds |
Cations - larger charge= higher polarising power - smaller redius = higher polarising power
Anions - larger radius= higher polarisability |
Why CaI2 more covalent than KI? (Why more difference between theoretical and experimental lattice energy?) |
-higher charge, smaller radius -more polarising -able to distort electron cloud to a greater extent |

? stronger than ? |
Sigma bond overlaps are closer to nuclei |
C=C - region of high electron density |
Electrons more diffused and less firmly held. So easily attacked by electrophiles. |

Electrophilic addition |
Type of reaction in which an electrophile is attracted to the electron density in the C=C and added across the double bond to form one product. |
Markovnikov's rule
(My understanding of it) |
The more hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atoms of the double bond(reactant) in the product, the more likely it is to be the major product. (more stable) |
