3. Announcements No tutoring today Tutoring next week: Monday and Tuesday
Test NEXT Wednesday
Get notebooks organized

4. Catalyst/Announcements Review Agenda Problems
Finish investigating atomic size
Investigate ionization energy

5. Atomic Size
Across a period: Atomic size decreases as coulombic attraction increases because the electrons are MORE attracted to the nucleus due to the increase in the # of protons and are attracted TOWARDS the positive nucleus making the atoms smaller.
Chem team!!! I know my explanations are very over-simplified and so if you think of a better way to word these challenge questions PLEASE feel free to edit/change.  I just wanted to include them because students ask these every year in class.

7. What is ionization energy?
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron. The harder an electron is to remove the HIGHER the ionization energy.

8. Ionization energy
Down a group: Ionization energy decreases as columbic attraction decreases because the valence electrons are further away from the nucleus making them easier to remove.

9. Ionization energy
Across a period: Ionization energy increases as columbic attraction increases because the increase in the #of protons causes the electrons to have more attraction to the nucleus making them harder to remove.
