In this unit we will study the chemistry of d and f block elements. First we will study the IUPAC nomenclature of these elements then we will discuss the electronic configuration, periodicity, variation of size, melting and boiling points. We shall also study the ionization energy, electronegativity, electrode potential, oxidation sate of these elements in detail. Objectives After studying this unit, you should be able to: explain the IUPAC nomenclature of d and f block elements, describe the electronic configuration of d and f block elements, outline the general properties of these elements, and discuss the colour, magnetic complex formation catalytic properties. 1 1.2 TRANSITION AND INNER TRANSITION ELEMENTS - AN INTRODUCTION We already know that in the periodic table the elements are classified into four blocks; namely, s-block, p-block, d-block andfiblock, based on the name of atomic orbital that accepts the valence or differentiating electrons. In the elements of d-block orfiblock the valence electron enters the penultimate (inner to the outermost) (n-l)d orbitals or ante- penultimate (third to the outermost) (n-2lforbitals respectively. The d-block elements occupy position in between s-block andp-block elements and possess properties that are intermediate (or transitional) between elements of s- andp- block and are, therefore, called transition elem'ents. Thef-block elements are often Chemistry of Elements called as inner-transition elements because in these elements the differentiating electron enters thef -orbitals of an inner shell. The term transition is used here because they exhlbit transition element behaviour by exhibiting variable oxidation states, forming coloured ions and exhibiting paramagnetism. The lanthanides (also called lanthanoids or lanthanons) are placed along with lanthanum and actinides (also known as actinoids or actinons) along with actinium in the periodic table. Customarily, they are listed separately in two series at the bottom of the periodic table in order to avoid it being excessively wide. Presently most chemists consider as transition elements, only those elements that, either as free atoms (or neutral atoms) or in any of their common oxidation states, have partly filled d-orbitals. According to this definition, the elements zinc, cadmium and mercury are excluded from the list of transition elements, as they possess completely filled d- orbitals in their neutral atoms and in their common oxidation states (~'3. These large numbers of transition elements are further classified into four series of elements- first transition series, second transition series, third transition series and fourth transition series according to the filling of 3d, 4d, 5d and 6d atomic orbitals. The elements from scandium to copper constitute the first transition series while a group of nine elements from yttrium to silver constitute the second transition series. The third transition series begins with hafnium and goes up to gold. The fourth transition series (also called super heavy elements) starts with element having atomic number 104 and goes up to 1 12. These elements have been synthesized by artificial nuclear reactions and are very unstable with respect to a-decay or spontaneous fission with very short half- lives. Thef-block elements comprise two series of elements- the lanthanide series and the actinide series according to the filling of 4f and Sf orbitals, respectively. A group of fourteen elements following lanthanum in the periodic table are called lanthanides. Si~nilarly,the fourteen elements following actinium in the periodic table are termed as actinide elements. The elements following uranium have been produced artificially and are collectively called transuranium elements. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 11.3 IUPAC NOMENCLATURE OF 6d TRANSITION SERIES ELEMENTS As we already know each element in the periodic table have been given definite names and their symbols are derived by either taking the first alphabet, or by taking first alphabet and one more alphabet from the name of the elements. But the 4d transition series elements are given special names and symbols according to TUPAC rules, which are given below: 1: The name of the element is directly derived from the atomic number of the element as per the following numerical roots: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 nil un bi tri quad pent hex sept oct enn 2. These roots are written together in order of appearance of the digits in the atomic number and terminated by -iurn. If enn comes before nil, the last n of enn is elided. Similarly, the final i of bi and tri is omitted when it occurs before -ium. 3. Taking the first letter of the initial roots that make up the number derives the symbols of the elements. ~hus,the name of the elements with atomic numbi 104 will be unnilquadium and the symbol will be Unq. The name and symbol of elen :~tshaving atomic numbers 104-112 are given in Table 1 1.1. Table 11.1: IUPAC names and symbols of fourth transition series elements. Chemistry of d- and .f-Block Elements Atomic Name of Symbol Atomic Name of Symbol Number Element Number Element 104 Unnilquadium Unq 109 Unnilennium Une 105 Unnilpentium Unp 1 10 Ununnilium Uun 106 Unnilhexium Unh 111 Unununium Uuu 107 Unnilseptium Uns 112 Ununbium Uub 108 Unniloctium Uno It is pertinent to note that these IUPAC names are assigned to elements only temporarily till the claimls about their synthesis are confirmed after which they are assigned proper names and symbols. Elements with atomic numbers 109 have already been assigned proper names. Recently the element with atomic number 110 has been named as Darmstadtium (Ds), on 16Ihaugust, 2003 at 42"d General Assembly of IUPAC in Ottawa, Canada. SAQ 1 a) Why zinc, cadmium and mercury are not considered as transition elements? b) Write the rCTPAC name and symbol of unknown elements with atomic number 118, 120and 150. 11.4 ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION OF I-BLOCK ANDfiBLOCK ELEMENTS In the preceding section we discussed the position of transition elements and the inner transition elements in the periodic table and the rules for naming of elements of fourth transition series. We shall now discuss the ground state electronic configurations of transition and inner transition elements and their ions. 11.4.1 Electronic Configurations of Transition Elements and Ions We already know that the electronic bon figuration of argon atom is id, 2s22p6,3~~3~'. In the atom of next element potassium the differentiating electron enters the 4s level. The 4s level becomes filled at the element calcium, which has the electronic configuration [A-]4s2.In the atoms of successive elements from scandium to zinc, differentiating electrons enter 3d level instead of 4p. The electronic configurations of the atoms of second and third series transition elements follow similar pattern. In atoms of 4d series of transition elements, after filling up of the 5s level at strontium [ICr]5s2 the differentiating electrons enter 4d level instead of 5p. Similarly, in atoms of 5d transition series elements the 6s level is filled at barium and the filling of 5d level begins at lanthanum which intempted by fourteen elements in which the electron enter 4f level (i.e. lanthanides), resumes at hafnium. The resulting electronic configurations of the atoms of transition elements are given in Table 1 1.2. The electronic configuration of the Chemistry of Elements ions can be obtained by removing first the outer ns electrons and then (n-l)d electron of the atom until the number of removed electrons become equal to the charge on the ion. For example, co3+will have electronic configuration as [Ar]3d6 and ~i~'as [Ar]3d, etc. Table 11.2: Electronic configurations of the free atoms of transition elements. it transition series Second transition series Element Free atom Element Free atom F [Ar]3d14s' Y [ICr]4d15s2 [Ar]3d24s' Zr [Kr]4d25s2 [Ar]3d34s' Nb [Kr]4# 5s' [Ar]3ds 4s' Mo [Kr]4ds 5s' [Ar]3ds 4s' b Tc [Kr]4d6 5s' [Ar]3d6 4s2 Ru [Kr]4d75s' [Ar]3d74s2 Rh [Kr]4d5s1 [~r]3d4s~ Pd [Kr14d'~5s' [Ar]3d1° 4s' Ag [Kr14d'~5s' [~r]3d"4s2 Cd [~r]4d'O52 Third transition series I ~ourthtransitionseries I Element Free atom Element Free atom La rxel5d1 6s2 Unq [Rn]5f4 6d7s2 Hf ,U~P [Rn]5f4 6d3 7s' Ta unh lRn15f 6# 7s' W Uns 687s2 Re Uno [Rn]5f4 6d6 7s' 0s Une [Rn]5f4 6d7 7s' Ir Unn [Rn]5f4 627s' Pt Uuu [Rn]5f 6d7s2 Au Uub lRn15f 6dI0 7s' Now you may be wondering as to why the ns level is filled first before the (n-l)d or the (n-22flevels and then later why (n-l)d or (n-22flevels are filled prior to np level. It is the radial dependence of the d-orbitals that is responsible for this order of filling of electrons in these elements. The stability of an electron in various atomic orbitals can be evaluated by comparison of radial probability functions 4n22 T 2 . The plot of radial distribution functions for 3d and 4s electrons is shown in Fig.

    5 Heavy Metals as Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals Cheryl A. Dyer, PHD CONTENTS 1 Introduction 2 Arsenic 3 Cadmium 4 Lead 5 Mercury 6 Uranium 7 Conclusions 1. INTRODUCTION Heavy metals are present in our environment as they formed during the earth’s birth. Their increased dispersal is a function of their usefulness during our growing dependence on industrial modification and manipulation of our environment (1,2). There is no consensus chemical definition of a heavy metal. Within the periodic table, they comprise a block of all the metals in Groups 3–16 that are in periods 4 and greater. These elements acquired the name heavy metals because they all have high densities, >5 g/cm3 (2). Their role as putative endocrine-disrupting chemicals is due to their chemistry and not their density. Their popular use in our industrial world is due to their physical, chemical, or in the case of uranium, radioactive properties. Because of the reactivity of heavy metals, small or trace amounts of elements such as iron, copper, manganese, and zinc are important in biologic processes, but at higher concentrations they often are toxic. Previous studies have demonstrated that some organic molecules, predominantly those containing phenolic or ring structures, may exhibit estrogenic mimicry through actions on the estrogen receptor. These xenoestrogens typically are non-steroidal organic chemicals released into the environment through agricultural spraying, indus- trial activities, urban waste and/or consumer products that include organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, bisphenol A, phthalates, alkylphenols, and parabens (1). This definition of xenoestrogens needs to be extended, as recent investi- gations have yielded the paradoxical observation that heavy metals mimic the biologic From: Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals: From Basic Research to Clinical Practice Edited by: A.

This can be viewed empirically as due to differing penetration effects. Radial Wavefunctions Pn,l2 for 4f, 5d, 6s in Ce 4f orbitals (and the atoms in general) steadily contract across the lanthanide series. Effective electron potential for the excited states of Ba {[Xe] 6s 4f} & La {[Xe] 6s 5d 4f} show a sudden change in the broadness & depth of the 4f "inner well".

  • The Periodic Electronegativity Table
    The Periodic Electronegativity Table Jan C. A. Boeyens Unit for Advanced Study, University of Pretoria, South Africa Reprint requests to J. C. A. Boeyens. E-mail: [email protected] Z. Naturforsch. 2008, 63b, 199 – 209; received October 16, 2007 The origins and development of the electronegativity concept as an empirical construct are briefly examined, emphasizing the confusion that exists over the appropriate units in which to express this quantity. It is shown how to relate the most reliable of the empirical scales to the theoretical definition of electronegativity in terms of the quantum potential and ionization radius of the atomic valence state. The theory reflects not only the periodicity of the empirical scales, but also accounts for the related thermochemical data and serves as a basis for the calculation of interatomic interaction within molecules. The intuitive theory that relates electronegativity to the average of ionization energy and electron affinity is elucidated for the first time and used to estimate the electron affinities of those elements for which no experimental measurement is possible.

  • An Alternate Graphical Representation of Periodic Table of Chemical Elements Mohd Abubakr1, Microsoft India (R&D) Pvt
    An Alternate Graphical Representation of Periodic table of Chemical Elements Mohd Abubakr1, Microsoft India (R&D) Pvt. Ltd, Hyderabad, India. [email protected] Abstract Periodic table of chemical elements symbolizes an elegant graphical representation of symmetry at atomic level and provides an overview on arrangement of electrons. It started merely as tabular representation of chemical elements, later got strengthened with quantum mechanical description of atomic structure and recent studies have revealed that periodic table can be formulated using SO(4,2) SU(2) group. IUPAC, the governing body in Chemistry, doesn‟t approve any periodic table as a standard periodic table. The only specific recommendation provided by IUPAC is that the periodic table should follow the 1 to 18 group numbering. In this technical paper, we describe a new graphical representation of periodic table, referred as „Circular form of Periodic table‟. The advantages of circular form of periodic table over other representations are discussed along with a brief discussion on history of periodic tables. 1. Introduction The profoundness of inherent symmetry in nature can be seen at different depths of atomic scales. Periodic table symbolizes one such elegant symmetry existing within the atomic structure of chemical elements. This so called „symmetry‟ within the atomic structures has been widely studied from different prospects and over the last hundreds years more than 700 different graphical representations of Periodic tables have emerged [1]. Each graphical representation of chemical elements attempted to portray certain symmetries in form of columns, rows, spirals, dimensions etc. Out of all the graphical representations, the rectangular form of periodic table (also referred as Long form of periodic table or Modern periodic table) has gained wide acceptance.

  • Periodic Table 1 Periodic Table
    Periodic table 1 Periodic table This article is about the table used in chemistry. For other uses, see Periodic table (disambiguation). The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, organized on the basis of their atomic numbers (numbers of protons in the nucleus), electron configurations , and recurring chemical properties. Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number, which is typically listed with the chemical symbol in each box. The standard form of the table consists of a grid of elements laid out in 18 columns and 7 Standard 18-column form of the periodic table. For the color legend, see section Layout, rows, with a double row of elements under the larger table. below that. The table can also be deconstructed into four rectangular blocks: the s-block to the left, the p-block to the right, the d-block in the middle, and the f-block below that. The rows of the table are called periods; the columns are called groups, with some of these having names such as halogens or noble gases. Since, by definition, a periodic table incorporates recurring trends, any such table can be used to derive relationships between the properties of the elements and predict the properties of new, yet to be discovered or synthesized, elements. As a result, a periodic table—whether in the standard form or some other variant—provides a useful framework for analyzing chemical behavior, and such tables are widely used in chemistry and other sciences. Although precursors exist, Dmitri Mendeleev is generally credited with the publication, in 1869, of the first widely recognized periodic table.

    Chapter 7 Periodic Properties of the Elements Learning Outcomes: Explain the meaning of effective nuclear charge, Zeff, and how Zeff depends on nuclear charge and electron configuration. Predict the trends in atomic radii, ionic radii, ionization energy, and electron affinity by using the periodic table. Explain how the radius of an atom changes upon losing electrons to form a cation or gaining electrons to form an anion. Write the electron configurations of ions. Explain how the ionization energy changes as we remove successive electrons, and the jump in ionization energy that occurs when the ionization corresponds to removing a core electron. Explain how irregularities in the periodic trends for electron affinity can be related to electron configuration. Explain the differences in chemical and physical properties of metals and nonmetals, including the basicity of metal oxides and the acidity of nonmetal oxides. Correlate atomic properties, such as ionization energy, with electron configuration, and explain how these relate to the chemical reactivity and physical properties of the alkali and alkaline earth metals (groups 1A and 2A). Write balanced equations for the reactions of the group 1A and 2A metals with water, oxygen, hydrogen, and the halogens. List and explain the unique characteristics of hydrogen.

  • Atomic Radius
    Atomic Radius What is Atomic radius? Atomic radius is generally stated as being the total distance from an atom’s nucleus to the outermost orbital of electron. In simpler terms, it can be defined as something similar to the radius of a circle, where the center of the circle is the nucleus and the outer edge of the circle is the outermost orbital of electron. As you begin to move across or down the periodic table, trends emerge that help explain how atomic radii changes The effective charge (Zeff) of an atom is the net positive charge felt by valance electron. Zeff greatly affect the atomic size of atom.As Zeff decreases the size of the atom increases Because there is more screening of the electron from the nucleus - Type of Atomic Radius - (based on types of bonds) 1.Covalent Radius 2.Ionic Radius 3.Metallic Radius 1 Covalent radius When a covalent bond is present between two atoms, the covalent radius can be determined. When two atoms of the same element are covalently bonded, the radius of each atom will be half the distance between the two nuclei because they equally attract the electrons. The distance between two nuclei will give the diameter of an atom, but you want the radius which is half the diameter. Ionic radius The ionic radius is the radius of an atom forming ionic bond or an ion. The radius of each atom in an ionic bond will be different than that in a covalent bond. This is an important concept. The reason for the variability in radius is due to the fact that the atoms in an ionic bond are of greatly different size.
