Bellringer 6

Match the word to its definition.

Atomic Radius __
Electronegativity (Affinity) __
Ionization Energy __
Reactivity __

A. the amount of energy required to remove the outmost electron. It is closely related to electronegativity

B. an atom's 'desire' to grab another atom's electrons

C. refers to how likely or vigorously an atom is to react with other substances. This is usually determined by how easily electrons can be removed (ionization energy) and how badly they want to take other atom's electrons (electronegativity) because it is the transfer/interaction of electrons that is the basis of chemical reactions

D. an indication of the atom's volume
