Periodic Properties of the Elements
Magnetic Properties • Diamagnetic atoms or ions: – All e- are paired. – Weakly repelled by a magnetic field. • Paramagnetic atoms or ions: – Unpaired e-. – Attracted to an external magnetic field.

Lattice Energy • Ionic compounds are solids under normal conditions and their structures contain positive and negative ions arranged in a 3 -D lattice • Lattice energy, ∆Elattice, is the energy of formation of one mole of solid crystalline ionic compound when ions in the gas phase combine • Tells us the strength of ionic bonding in solids on ion sizes and ion charges
