Chapter 2.4 Periodic Properties of the Elements Chapter 2.4 Periodic properties of the elements Electron Configurations, Atomic Properties, and Periodic Trends As we move down the periodic table the electron configuration becomes longer and more complex. This goes beyond the purpose of our course. Electron configurations help to determine the atomic and chemical properties of the elements. Properties such as atomic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity and electronegativity are periodic as they follow recurring trends in the periodic table. increase the orbital energy in oxygen. Therefore, less energy is required to remove the fourth p sublevel electron in oxygen. Periodic trends in ionization energy are linked to trends involving the reactivity of metals. In general, the chemical reactivity of metals increases down a group and decreases across a period. These trends, as well as a further trend from metallic to non-metallic properties across a period, and increasing metallic properties down a group, are shown in Table 3.1.

Their volumes (the extent of their orbitals) are described in terms of probabilities. Nevertheless, the size of an atom — its atomic radius — is a measurable property. Chemists can determine it by measuring the distance between the nuclei of bonded, neighbouring atoms. For example, for metals, atomic radius is half the Atomic Radius distance between neighbouring nuclei in a crystal of the metal element. For elements that occur as molecules, which is the case for many non- metals, atomic radius is half the distance between nuclei of identical atoms that bonded together with a single covalent bond.

(Values for atomic radii are given in picometres. Those in parentheses have only two significant digits.) 152 MHR • Unit 2 Structure and Properties First Ionization Energy The energy needed to completely remove one electron from a ground state gaseous atom is called the ionization energy. Energy must be added to the atom to remove an electron in order to overcome the force of attraction exerted on the electron by the nucleus. Since multi-electron atoms have two or more electrons, they also have more than one ionization energy. For calcium the first ionization energy (IE1), is 599 kJ/mol: Ca(g) + 599 kJ → Ca+(g) + e- The second ionization energy (IE2) is the amount of energy required to remove the second electron. For calcium, it may be represented as: Ca+(g) + 1145 kJ → Ca2+1(g) + e- For a given element, IE2 is always greater than IE1 because it is always more difficult to remove a negatively charged electron from a positively charged ion than from the corresponding neutral atom. Ionization energies measure how strongly electrons are bound to atoms. Ionization always requires energy to remove an electron from the attractive force of the nucleus. Low ionization energies indicate easy removal of electrons, and hence easy positive ion (cation) formation. First Ionization Energy Every element exhibits a large increase in ionization energy when an inner electron is removed.

  • 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.

  • The Periodicity of Electron Affinity
    The Periodicity of Electron Affinity R. Thomas Myers Kent State University. Kent, OH 44240 It is common in textbooks to see graphs showing ioniza- tion energy, IE, as a function of atomic number. One does not see such graphs for electron affinity, EA, even though this is necessary to understand the chemical hehavior of the elements. This may he because it is not realized how exten- sive the data are (13).The data are given in periodic table form in Figure 1, and graphed in Figure 2, which shows that, in general, EA has about the same periodic hehavior as does IE. There are some deviations from strict periodicity, most of them having interesting and instructive explanations. Some of the divergences from periodic hehavior are unex- plained. All electron affinities are in eV, and are shown as positive values, meaning exoergic processes. It used to be common to see large negative electron affinities for many elements, when all we had to depend on were extrapolation processes. I assume that no EA is (much) below zero, i.e., endoergic to a significant extent. The logic is that the screening constant for an atom cannot be (much) larger than the atomic num- ber. No set of screening constants has ever suggested such extremely high values. I will use the screening constants of Slater (41, because they are convenient and suffice for ex- ..... 51 s 6/12 I; IS 78 80 82 6; plaining most of the trends in a qualitative fashion.

  • 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.

  • Chemistry 1000
    CHEMISTRY 1000 Topic #1: Atomic Structure and Nuclear Chemistry Fall 2020 Dr. Susan Findlay See Exercise 5.3 Periodic Trends and Effective Nuclear Charge Imagine four atoms/ions: One has a nucleus with charge +1 and a single electron One has a nucleus with charge +1 and two electrons One has a nucleus with charge +2 and a single electron One has a nucleus with charge +2 and two electrons. Which is biggest? Which could lose an electron most easily? Which would acquire an extra electron most easily? 2 Periodic Trends and Effective Nuclear Charge Most electrons do not ‘feel’ the full positive charge of the nucleus. Other electrons in the atom (particularly those in lower energy orbitals) ‘shield’ some of this charge. The amount of positive charge ‘felt’ by an electron in a given orbital is called the effective nuclear charge (Zeff). The following table lists the atomic number (Z) and effective nuclear charges (Zeff) for electrons in the 2s and 2p orbitals of neutral atoms of the elements in the second period: Element Z Zeff (2s) Zeff (2p) Li 3 1.28 B 5 2.58 2.42 C 6 3.22 3.14 N 7 3.85 3.83 O 8 4.49 4.45 F 9 5.13 5.10 3 Periodic Trends and Effective Nuclear Charge Note that the effective nuclear charge on an s orbital is slightly higher than on a p orbital in the same shell. Why? Also, note that Zeff does not increase by 1 when Z increases by 1. Why not? Effective nuclear charge explains several of the periodic trends (atomic properties that can be predicted using the periodic table) including atomic size, ionization energy and electron affinity.

    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. Correlate the atomic properties (such as ionization energy, electron configuration, and electron affinity) of group 6A, 7A, and 8A elements with their chemical reactivity and physical properties.

  • Electron Affinity Another Property That Influences an Atom’S Chemical Behaviour Is Their Ability to Accept One Or More Electrons
    Electron Affinity Another property that influences an atom’s chemical behaviour is their ability to accept one or more electrons This property is called electron affinty electron affinty: the negative of the energy change that occurs when an electron is accepted by an atom in the gaseous state to form an anion X(g) + e X(g) Electron affinity is positive if the reaction is exothermic (releases energy) and negative if the reaction is endothermic (absorbs energy) F(g) + e F(g) H = 328 kJ/mol The electron affinity for fluorine is assigned as +328 kJ/mol. Ionization energy measures the ease with which an atom loses an electron, whereas electron affinity measures the ease with which an atom gains an electron. When the addition of an electron makes the atom more stable, energy is given off A large positive electron affinity means that the negative ion is very stable (that is, the atom has a great tendency to accept an electron) The halogens have the greatest electron affinity because they are one electron short of a filled p-block. When the addition of an electron makes the atom less stable, energy must be put in If the added electron must be placed into a higher energy level than the other valence electrons, then the element is made less stable Trend: Moving left to right across a period, the electron affinity increases (more energy given off becoming more stable) Properties of Metals Metals tend to have low ionization energies and therefore tend to form cations relatively easily Most metal oxides are ionic solids that are basic (metal oxide + water → metal hydroxide) Na2O(s) + H2O(l) → 2 NaOH(aq) Properties of Nonmetals Because of their large electron affinities, nonmetals tend to gain electrons when they react with metals Most nonmetal oxides are acidic (nonmetal oxide + water → acid) CO2(g) + H2O(g) → H2CO3(aq) .

  • Periodic Trends: Electron Affinity Answers
    Periodic trends: Electron affinity answers. Name _______________________________________ 1. What is the atomic number? The number of protons found in an element. 2. What is the electron affinity of an element? The measure of energy released or required when you add an electron onto a neutral, gaseous atom—forming a negative ion. 3. Make a prediction about the trend you expect to see in electron affinity as you move across a period. Why do you think this will be so? It will increase due to the production of more stable anions as you move right. 4. On which axis did you place the atomic number? Explain why you placed it there. The electron affinity is dependent on the number of protons found in an element. So the atomic number is the independent variable, which is placed on the x-axis by convention. 5. When might it be easy to add an electron onto an atom? When the resulting anion is stable. Go to the Periodic Table Live! at www.chemeddl.org/resources/ptl.
