Electron Configurations of Cations of Transition Metals
When a cation is formed from an atom of a transition metal, electrons are always removed first from the ns orbital and then from the (n 1)d orbitals.
Effective nuclear charge (Zeff) is the positive charge felt by an electron. Zeff = Z - s 0 < s < Z (s = shielding constant)

Comparison of Atomic Radii with Ionic Radii
Cation is always smaller than atom from which it is formed. Anion is always larger than atom from which it is formed.

Ionization energy is the minimum energy (kJ/mol) required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom in its ground state. I1 + X (g) I2 + X+(g) I3 + X2+(g) X+(g) + eX2+(g) + eX3+(g) + eI1 first ionization energy I2 second ionization energy I3 third ionization energy

Electron affinity is the negative of the energy change that occurs when an electron is accepted by an atom in the gaseous state to form an anion. X (g) + eX-(g)

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract toward itself the electrons in a chemical bond. Electron Affinity - measurable, Cl is highest

Comparison of Group 1A and 1B The metals in these two groups have similar outer electron configurations, with one electron in the outermost s orbital. Chemical properties are quite different due to difference in the ionization energy.
