Some important termsp• Electron configuration: the order of filling of

orbitals; tells us which orbitals are filled or partially filled

• Core electrons: those in filled shellsCore electrons: those in filled shells“inner shell electrons”

• Valence electrons: those beyond the filled• Valence electrons: those beyond the filled shells“o ter shell electrons”“outer shell electrons”

• Effective nuclear chargeZeff = Z - S

Electrostatic interactions are responsible for the differences in orbital sizes for different atoms

•particles with like charges repel one another (electrostatic repulsion)

•particles with opposite charges are attracted to each other (electrostatic attraction)

•The strength of an electrostatic attraction is directly related to g ythe relative magnitudes of the charges on the particles

•The strength of an electrostatic attraction is inversely relatedto the distance between the interacting particles
