8.6 Periodic Trends in the Size of Atoms! • In general, properties of elements depend on the strength of the attraction between outer electrons and the nucleus." • According to Coulomb's Law, the attraction is stronger as the charge on the nucleus (Z) increases, and as the electron gets closer to the nucleus."-regular, periodic patterns -localized, coherent structures (“defects”) The universality of patterns*: spiral waves FitzHugh-Nagumo model Rayleigh-Benard convection!

Periodic Timer ( 25 < random < 35): controls advertising of update messages. There ONE such timer Expiration Timers: governs route validity. Reset upon receipt of an update. If it ever expires, destination is considered unreachable. Yet, entry is not removed from table, it continues to be advertised with hop count = 16 ( i.e. infinity) Periodic trends are specific patterns that are present in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects of a certain element, including its size and its electronic properties. Major periodic trends include: electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radius, melting point, and metallic character.

dope silicon with elements from group III of the periodic table, say boron. This is shown in figure 3. Now we have some missing orbitals or places where electrons can go. Thus the electrons are moving to the left. The vacancy caused by the departure of a free electron is called a hole. Note that whenever a hole is present, we have, in effect a
