Materials 100A, Class I, Introduction Materials 100A, Class 2, atomic stucture, periodic table, bonding . Ram Seshadri MRL 2031, x6129 [email protected]; http://www.mrl.ucsb.edu/∼seshadri/teach.html This class closely follows the second chapter of Callister Atomic structure Atoms are composed of protons (positively charged), neutrons (no charge) and electrons (negatively charged). The number of electrons in an atom (which is equal to the number of protons) is called the atomic number. The number of electrons (or protons) + the number of neutrons is called the mass number. The atomic mass (which is numerically, a value close to the mass number) is the weighted average mass of a number of isotopes of the element, expressed in a system of units where the common isotope of carbon 12C has an atomic mass of precisely 12.00000. The unit of atomic mass in g is equal to 1.00000/(Avogadro Number) = 1.00000/6.0221367×1023 = 1.66054×10−24 g. This is sometimes called the Lochschmidt number. One atom of 12C weighs 12 times this, 1.99265×1023 g. If instead of counting atom by atom, we count in bunches corresponding to the Avogadro number, we have moles of something, and 1 mole of 12C weights precisely 12.00000 g. One mole of a normal carbon sample (which is a mixture of isotopes with different mass numbers) actually weighs 12.011 g. Atoms have protons and neutrons in the core, in a nucleus. The electrons whiz around the nucleus according to two models, a simple one called the Bohr model, and a more complicated one called the atomic orbital model. In the Bohr model, electrons whiz around in different shells, the K shell, the L, shell, the M shell, the N shell, and so on. The K shell can accommodate 2 electrons, M can accommodate 8, M can accommodate 18 and N 32. The more sophisticated atomic orbital model has four kinds of orbitals, s, p, d and f (and for extremely heavy elements, a g orbital), that arise as solutions of the Schr¨odinger equation for atoms. This equations forms the basis of quantum mechanics. One of the outcomes of the solving the Schr¨odinger equation is that every electron in an atom is associated with a set of 4 numbers called the quantum numbers. The first number, the principle quantum number n takes on values as shown below and these correspond to the different shells of the Bohr atom. 1 Materials 100A, Class 2, atomic stucture, periodic table, bonding . n Shell Subshells States Electrons 1 K s 1 2 2 L s 1 2 p 3 6 3 M s 1 2 p 3 6 d 5 10 4 N s 1 2 p 3 6 d 5 10 f 7 14 In an atom, the electrons will always attempt to go to states with the lowest energy. This is the aufbau (or building-up) principle. However, you cannot fill states beyond a certain point. For example, if you finish filling 3d states with 10 electrons, you have to move on to 4s. This is a consequence of the Pauli exclusion principle which states that no two electrons in an atom can share identical sets of the four quantum numbers. The scheme below shows the rules for filling up electrons in an atom. First all the “core” electrons fill up. Towards the end, the “valence” electrons start filling up. It is the valence electrons that usually decide the properties of the atom, such as its reactivity towards other elements. s p d f g n=1 2 3 4 5 6 The periodic table: The rules for filling up electrons in an atom result in the periodic table.

Note that they correspond to filled K shells (He), filled L shells (Ne), filled M shells (Ar) . These are stable configurations and the noble gases are rather unreactive. It is always useful to know how far an element is from the nearest noble gas. For instance, Br is just one electron away from Kr, and as a result, will grab an electron whenever it gets the chance. K has just one electron more than Ar and is always trying to get rid of it (the one electron). Another way of stating this is that Br has 7 valence electrons (and tries to get one more to reach 8) while K has 1 valence electron and tries to get rid of it to reach zero. 3 Materials 100A, Class 2, atomic stucture, periodic table, bonding . In general, atoms that can adopt the configuration of the nearest noble gas by gaining electrons, have a tendency to grab electrons from other atoms. This tendency is called electronegativity, and Pauling introduced a scale to describe this tendency. The scale runs to 4 (corresponding to F) which is an atom that always tries very hard to grab electrons.

  • Three Related Topics on the Periodic Tables of Elements
    Three related topics on the periodic tables of elements Yoshiteru Maeno*, Kouichi Hagino, and Takehiko Ishiguro Department oｆ physics, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606-8502, Japan * [email protected] (The Foundations of Chemistry: received 30 May 2020; accepted 31 July 2020) Abstaract: A large variety of periodic tables of the chemical elements have been proposed. It was Mendeleev who proposed a periodic table based on the extensive periodic law and predicted a number of unknown elements at that time. The periodic table currently used worldwide is of a long form pioneered by Werner in 1905. As the first topic, we describe the work of Pfeiffer (1920), who refined Werner’s work and rearranged the rare-earth elements in a separate table below the main table for convenience. Today’s widely used periodic table essentially inherits Pfeiffer’s arrangements. Although long-form tables more precisely represent electron orbitals around a nucleus, they lose some of the features of Mendeleev’s short-form table to express similarities of chemical properties of elements when forming compounds. As the second topic, we compare various three-dimensional helical periodic tables that resolve some of the shortcomings of the long-form periodic tables in this respect. In particular, we explain how the 3D periodic table “Elementouch” (Maeno 2001), which combines the s- and p-blocks into one tube, can recover features of Mendeleev’s periodic law. Finally we introduce a topic on the recently proposed nuclear periodic table based on the proton magic numbers (Hagino and Maeno 2020). Here, the nuclear shell structure leads to a new arrangement of the elements with the proton magic-number nuclei treated like noble-gas atoms.

  • 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.

  • Mendeleev's Periodic Table of the Elements the Periodic Table Is Thus
    An Introduction to General / Inorganic Chemistry Mendeleev’s Periodic Table of the Elements Dmitri Mendeleev born 1834 in the Soviet Union. In 1869 he organised the 63 known elements into a periodic table based on atomic masses. He predicted the existence and properties of unknown elements and pointed out accepted atomic weights that were in error. The periodic table is thus an arrangement of the elements in order of increasing atomic number. Elements are arranged in rows called periods. Elements with similar properties are placed in the same column. These columns are called groups. An Introduction to General / Inorganic Chemistry The modern day periodic table can be further divided into blocks. http://www.chemsoc.org/viselements/pages/periodic_table.html The s, p, d and f blocks This course only deals with the s and p blocks. The s block is concerned only with the filling of s orbitals and contains groups I and II which have recently been named 1 and 2. The p block is concerned only with the filling of p orbitals and contains groups III to VIII which have recently been named 13 to 18. An Introduction to General / Inorganic Chemistry Groups exist because the electronic configurations of the elements within each group are the same. Group Valence Electronic configuration 1 s1 2 s2 13 s2p1 14 s2p2 15 s2p3 16 s2p4 17 s2p5 18 s2p6 The type of chemistry exhibited by an element is reliant on the number of valence electrons, thus the chemistry displayed by elements within a given group is similar. Physical properties Elemental physical properties can also be related to electronic configuration as illustrated in the following four examples: An Introduction to General / Inorganic Chemistry 1.

The abundances of the heavy noble gases in shale were found to exceed the highest known meteoritic values. The abundances of the lighter noble gases were found to be comparable to the abundances of these gases in typical chondrites. Temperature gradient analyses show that excess heavy gases are released at low temperatures.

Radiographers, environmental chemists and archaeologists all make use of specific isotopes in their work. Analytical chemists use UV/visible spectra and flame emission spectra to help characterise substances and colorimetry as a quantitative analytical technique. The origin of colour in compounds is of great importance in the dye-, pigment-, and paint-based industries and to development chemists researching new products. The Atom All elements are made of atoms. Atoms are made up of 3 types of particle. These are protons, neutrons and electrons. Electrons have -1 charge. They move around the nucleus in orbitals, which take up most of the volume of the atom. Most of the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus. The nucleus is very small in comparison to the whole atom. The nucleus is where you find the protons and neutrons. The mass and charge of these subatomic particles is really small, so relative mass and relative charge are used instead. The table shows the relative masses and charges of protons, neutrons and electrons.

Protons and neutrons are at the center of the atom while electrons live in lobe-shaped clouds outside the nucleus. The number of electrons usually matches the number of protons, yielding a net neutral charge for the atom. Sometimes an atom has less neutrons or more neutrons than protons. This is called an isotope. If an atom has different numbers of electrons than protons, then it is an ion. If an atom has different numbers of protons, it is a different element all together. Scientists at Idaho National Laboratory study, create, and use radioactive isotopes like Uranium 234. The 234 means this isotope has an atomic mass of 234 Atomic Mass Units (AMU). GRADE LEVELS: 3-8 VOCABULARY Atom – The basic unit of a chemical element. Proton – A stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron, but of opposite sign. Neutron – A subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton but without an electric charge, present in all atomic nuclei except those of ordinary hydrogen. Electron – A stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids. Orbital – Each of the actual or potential patterns of electron density that may be formed on an atom or molecule by one or more electrons. Ion – An atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.
