The Periodic Table and Trends

SONGPlease have a periodic table out.

Use this one.

Dmitri Mendeleev 1834 – 1907

• Russian chemist and teacher• given the elements he knew

about, he organized a “Periodic Table” based on increasing atomic mass (it’s now atomic #)

• he even left empty spaces to be filled in later

At the time the elements gallium and germanium were not known. These are the blank spaces in his periodic

table. He predicted their discovery and estimated their properties.

Henry Moseley 1887 – 1915

• arranged the elements in increasing atomic number (Z)– properties now recurred

periodically

Design of the Table• Groups are the vertical columns.

– elements have similar, but not identical, properties• most important property is that

they have the same # of valence electrons

Know the names of these groups

What two blocks will always be the highest occupied level?

• B is 1s2 2s2 2p1;– 2 is the outermost energy level – it contains 3 valence electrons, 2 in

the 2s and 1 in the 2p• Br is [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p5

How many valence electrons are present?

• Periods are the horizontal rows– do NOT have similar properties– however, there is a pattern to their properties

as you move across the table that is visible when they react with other elements

• many trends are easier to understand if you comprehend the following

• the ability of an atom to “hang on to” or attract its valence electrons is the result of two opposing forces – the attraction between the electron and the

nucleus– the repulsions between the electron in

question and all the other electrons in the atom (often referred to the shielding effect)

– the net resulting force of these two is referred to effective nuclear charge

This is a simple, yet very good picture. Do you understand it?

– the distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron

– cannot measure the same way as a simple circle due to electrons are not in a fixed location

– therefore measure distance between two nuclei and divide by two

• ATOMIC RADII

–groups • increases downwards as more levels are added• more shielding

–periods across the periodic table• radii decreases

–the number of protons in the nucleus increases» increases the strength of the positive

nucleus and pulls electrons in the given level closer to it

»added electrons are not contributing to the shielding effect because they are still in the same level

– cations (+ ions) are smaller than the parent atom• have lost an electron (actually, lost an entire level!)• therefore have fewer electrons than protons

Li 0.152 nm

cation

–anions (- ions) are larger than parent atom• have gained an electron(s) to achieve noble gas

configuration• effective nuclear charge has decreased since

same nucleus now holding on to more electrons• plus, the added electron repels the existing

electrons farther apart (kind of “puffs it out”)

– trends• across a period

–decreases at first when losing electrons (+ ion)–then suddenly increases when gaining electrons

(- ion)–then goes back to decreasing after just like

neutral atoms because of more protons pulling in the outer level

• down a group (same as neutral atoms)– increases as new levels are added–more levels shielding

DARK GREY IS THE SIZE OF THE ION

Looking at ions compared to their parent atoms

• meaning does an atom become smaller or larger as it gains or loses electrons?

IONIC RADII

– IONIZATION ENERGY• the minimum energy (kJ mol-1) needed to

remove an electron from a neutral gaseous atom in its ground state, leaving behind a gaseous ion– X(g) X+(g) + e-

• first ionization energy- energy to remove first electron

• second ionization energy- energy to remove second electron

• third ionization energy- and so on…

• decreases down a group–outer electrons are farther from the nucleus and

therefore easier to remove– inner core electrons “shield” the valence electrons

from the pull of the positive nucleus and therefore easier to remove

• increases across a period– the nucleus is becoming stronger (effective

nuclear charge) and therefore the valence electrons are pulled closer• atomic radii is decreasing • this makes it harder to remove a valence electron

since it is closer to the nucleus

– or another way to look at it… a stronger nuclear charge acting on more contracted orbitals

• ELECTRONEGATIVITY–measures the attraction for a shared pair

of electrons in a bond• Linus Pauling (1901 to 1994) came up with a

scale where a value of 4.0 is arbitrarily

given to the most electronegative element,

fluorine, and the other electronegativities

are scaled relative to this value.

• trends (same as ionization energy and for the same reasons)

• as you go down a group electronegativity decreases – the size of the atom increases

» the bonding pair of electrons (-) is increasingly distant from the attraction of the nucleus (+)

» the bonding pair of electrons (-) are shielded because of core electrons (-) interfering with the nucleus’ (+) hold on valence electronsH

• as you go across a period– electronegativity increases

• the atoms become smaller as the effective nuclear charge increases –easier to attract the shared pair of

electrons as they will be in an orbital closer to the nucleus moving from L to R on the table
