Electron-Dot Symbols
87

Electron-dot symbols
are also known as Lewis structures
represent the valence electrons as dots placed on sides of symbol
For example, Al = 2,8,3
Three valence electrons are represented as dots:

Atomic Size
93

Atomic size
is determined by the atom’s atomic radius, the distance between nucleus and outermost electrons

increases for representative elements from top to bottom of the periodic table

decreases within a period due to increased number of protons in nucleus

Ionization energy
• is the energy required to remove one of the outermost electrons from an atom
Na(g) + energy (ionization)  Na+(g) + e−

• decreases down a group, increases across a period from left to right
