Chapter 6 Periodic Trends

_______: horizontal rows. Elements in a period show no similarity in chemical properties. _______: vertical columns. Elements in a family have similar chemical properties and predictable trends in physical properties. Grouping Elements

We give some groups names IA are the:______________ IIA are the:______________ VIIA are the:______________ VIIIA are the:______________

Metals and Nonmetals ___________ are shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable, ductile, and form cations (positive ions) by losing electrons during chemical change. ___________ are not shiny. They are poor conductors and are brittle. They form anions (negative ions) by gaining electrons during chemical changes. ___________ have some characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. They are B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po, At.

Some elements are gases at room temperature: How many are liquids? Which ones?— the rest are solids. State of Matter

which are metals? which are transition metals? which tend to form positive ions? which are noble gases? which are metalloids? which develop ions with a charge of -1? which are halogens? For Ca, K, Cu, Zn, Si & Kr :

Let’s do some electron configurations

Abbreviated electron configuration 2 He 10 Ne 18 Ar 36 Kr These configurations are for ground state configurations--lowest energy.

Valence Electrons Valence electrons are the electrons located in the _________ orbitals. They are involved in forming chemical bonds. For “A Family” elements the number of valence electrons in an atom = Don’t worry about inner core of electrons (smaller n) since these are filled levels and don’t enter into bond formation ( for A groups)

P Bi Sr Te I Cs What is the “determining e - ” for:

The Octet Rule Extra stability occurs when an atom or ion has ??? electrons in the outermost energy level (2 or 0 for the first period). This mimics the electron configuration of the _____. The ????? are sometimes called inert because they do not form ions or chemical bonds.

Transition metal cations No simple rules as for A groups Cu +, Cu 2+ Fe 2+, Fe 3+ Au +, Au 3+

What is the “determining e- for: Li + Be 2+ B 3+ N 3- O 2- H - F - H +

Isoelectronic Atoms or ions F - [He] 2s 2 2p 6 O 2- [He] 2s 2 2p 6 Name a cation isoelectronic with O 2-

Which of the following pairs are isoelectronic? Cl -, Ar Na +, Ne Mg 2+, Na + Li +, Ne O 2-, F -

Atomic Radius Think of an atom as a sphere whose radius is determined by the location of the e - furthest from the nucleus. Trends within families and periods: The larger value of n for a family, the larger the atomic radius. Size __________ from top to bottom in a family. Within an energy level, the larger the number of protons in the nucleus, the smaller the atomic radius. Size ___________ from left to right within a period.

Arrange according to increasing atomic size: Al, S, P, Cl, Si In, Ga, Al, B, Tl Sr, Ca, Ba, Mg, Be P, N, Sb, Bi, As Na, K, Mg

Ionic Radius Within a family, size __creases Size of parent to cation: Parent is ??? than cation Size of parent to anion: Parent is ???? than anion Note for period 3: N 3- > O 2- > F - > Na + > Mg 2+ > Al 3+ Most positive ion the smallest, most negative the largest

Ionic Radius Which is smaller? Cl or Cl- Na or Na + O 2- or S 2- Mg 2+ or Al 3+ Au + or Au 3+ P, P 3-, or P 5+

Ionization energy Minimum energy required to remove an ??? from a ground-state atom Always positive (requires energy) Measures how “tightly” the determining e - is held by the atom (think size also) Is greater for smaller radius atoms

Trends in ionization energy The larger value of n for a family, the smaller the ionization energy. Ionization energy __________ from top to bottom in a family. Within an energy level, the larger the number of protons in the nucleus, the larger the ionization energy. Ionization energy ___________ from left to right within a period.

Trends in ionization energy

Arrange in order of increasing Ionization Energy: N, O, F Li, K, Cs Cl, Br, I He, Ne, Ar

Electron affinity Electron affinity is the energy change when an e - is added to a ground-state atom. Energy associated with this reaction: Positive electron affinity means that energy is released, e- addition is favorable and anion is stable! Negative electron affinity means that energy is required, e- addition is unfavorable and anion is stable! First EA’s mostly positive, a few negative

Trends in electron affinity The larger value of n for a family, the smaller the electron affinity. Electron affinity __________ from top to bottom in a family. Within an energy level, the larger the number of protons in the nucleus, the larger the electron affinity. Electron affinity ___________ from left to right within a period. Nonmetals are more likely to accept e - s than metals. Halogens accept e - s most readily.
