EN is on a 0 to 4.0 scale, with F having the highest EN of 4.0 and Cs and Fr having the lowest with 0.7. Larger electronegativity (smaller electropositivity or metallicity) Smaller electronegativity (larger electropositivity or metallicity) 2 2 Size and Mass Size and Mass •Trends are the same as in electropositivity (metallicity). •Atomic radius increases in size going down groups because new shell is added. •Atomic radius decreases from left to right because nucleus contains more protons (↑ Z)– addition of one proton to an atom gives a stronger nuclear (greater positive) charge to the nucleus and thus the electrons are attracted more tightly to the nucleus, thus atomic radii decreases. •Ionic radius: Cations (+) : smaller than atoms Anions (-) : larger than atoms •Ions always shrink with increasing positive charge and expand with increasing negative charge. •Mass increases with atomic number (increasing # of protons in the nucleus) 3 Summary of Periodic Trends A third class of elements, the metalloids, which straddle the metal–nonmetal boundary, Zintl line (e.g.: B, Si, Ge, As, Te, and Se). 4 Bonding Generalizations Based on Periodic Trends in EN •We begin by classifying all elements as either metals or nonmetals: the ‘bold’ stepped Zintl line across the right hand side of the previous slide (table). •With elements divided up in this fashion, we establish the following rules. •First, metallic elements and metal–metal combinations form metal bonded solids. •Second, nonmetallic elements (e.g. Cl-Cl), and nonmetal–nonmetal (e.g., O-N) combinations are generally covalently bonded. •Third, bonds between metals and nonmetals are either ionic or covalent, depending on the electronegativity difference which requires calculation: •This EN difference from Pauling’s expression for the ionicity fraction of a bond (f ) is 2 -1/4(xnm-xm) f=1-e exs.: binary ZnO & BaF2… where xnm is the EN of the nonmetallic element and xm is the EN of the metallic element. •We will assume that when f > 0.5, the bonds are ionic and that when f ≤ 0.5, the bonds are covalent. In generic terms, the greater the difference between two atoms, the more ionic the bond, while the smaller the difference the more covalent the bond. •In ternary or more complex compounds, the fractional ionicity can be determined by using stoichiometrically weighted averages for the values of xm and/or xnm, ex.: In4Sn3O12… •It must be emphasized that the change from metallic to nonmetallic character is continuous and complex, so much that many authors would refute the apparently arbitrary binary categorization defined above…. 5 Bonding – Property Interrelationships •However, with such criticism noted, a binary classification is nevertheless implemented because it has the practical advantage of leading to a simple set of rules to determine bond types. •Once the bond type is defined, the type of atomic structure and properties that the solid might have can also be inferred. This relationship is illustrated schematically: •When crossing metal-nonmetal boundary, properties change dramatically with variation in bonding: 6 Origin of Bonding in Solids (Bonding Forces and Energies) •Many physical properties can be predicted based on interatomic forces that bind the atoms together. •Net force FN between atoms = FA + FR which is also function of interatomic separation. •Equilibrium exists when FA + FR become equal, there is no net force (=0), or else the atom moves. •The center of atoms will remain separated by equilibrium spacing (ro) or bond length. ~0.3 nm •Potential energies between atoms E=-∫Fdr or EN EA ER Adapted from Fig. 2.8(b), •The net E curve has a potential energy trough or Callister & Rethwisch 3e. well around its minimum. Here ro corresponds to separation distance at minimum of E curve. •The bonding energy (E0) for two atoms corresponds to energy at this minimum point. •E0 represents the energy required to separate these two atoms to an infinite separationbond strength •The magnitude of E0 and shape of the curve vary 7 from material to material & depend on type of 7 atomic bonding. ….. Review: Covalent Bonding Model •Covalent - there is valence electron sharing between two adjacent atoms such that each atom assumes a stable electron configuration. Example is methane: C: has 4 valence e-, needs 4 more •Each atom contributes at least one electron to the bond and the H: has 1 valence e-, needs 1 more shared electrons may be considered to belong to both atoms. •For methane each H atom can acquire a He electron configuration, when one of four carbon sp3 valence electrons is shared for total of 8 valence electrons (Ne electron configuration), octet rule. •The number of covalent bonds possible for a particular atom is determined by the number of valence electrons. For N' valence Adapted electrons, an atom can covalently bond with at most 8-N' other atoms. from Fig. •Examples: Cl atom has valence electron structure of 3s23p5 2.10, Callister & Rethwisch •C and Si have 2s22p2 and 3s23p2 structures, respectively. 3e. •f ≤ 0.5 (small DEN) metallic-nonmetallic elements and in crystals with nonmetallic elements. •Bonds are directional in nature: they exist only in the direction between one atom and another that participate in electron sharing. •Thus covalently bonded materials are generally less dense than ionically or metallically bonded ones (non-directional); when bonds are directional, the atoms cannot pack together in as dense a manner, thus yielding a lower mass density. 8 Examples of Covalent Bonding H2O H 2 F2 C(diamond) H He - 2.1 SiC column IVA Cl2 Li Be C O F Ne 1.0 1.5 2.5 2.0 4.0 - Na Mg Si Cl Ar 0.9 1.2 1.8 3.0 - K Ca Ti Cr Fe Ni Zn Ga Ge As Br Kr 0.8 1.0 1.5 1.6 1.8 1.8 1.8 1.6 1.8 2.0 2.8 - Rb Sr Sn I Xe 0.8 1.0 1.8 2.5 - Cs Ba Pb At Rn 0.7 0.9 1.8 2.2 - Fr Ra Adapted from Fig. 2.7, Callister 6e.

Covalent Bonding Model (continued) •Simple model assumes that electrons are shared between atoms and that electron charge density accumulates between the relatively positive atomic cores. •Defining characteristic of a covalent bond is the existence of a local maximum in the valence electron density in the regions between the atomic cores.

DOWNS Department of Geological Sciences, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061, U.S.A. PHILIPPE D' ARCO Laboratoire de Geologie, Ecole Normale Superieure, 75230 Paris Cedex OS, France ABSTRACT Stepwise multiple regression analyses of the apparent R(SiO) bond lengths were com- pleted for coesite and for the silica polymorphs together with the clathrasils as a function of the variables};(O), P (pressure), f,(Si), B(O), and B(Si). The analysis of 94 bond-length data recorded for coesite at a variety of pressures and temperatures indicates that all five of these variables make a significant contribution to the regression sum of squares with an R2 value of 0.84. A similar analysis of 245 R(SiO) data recorded for silica polymorphs and clathrasils indicate that only three of the variables (B(O), };(O), and P) make a signif- icant contribution to the regression with an R2 value of 0.90. The distribution of B(O) shows a wide range of values from 0.25 to 10.0 A2 with nearly 80% of the observations clustered between 0.25 and 3.0 A2 and the remaining values spread uniformly between 4.5 and 10.0 A2. A regression analysis carried out for these two populations separately indicates, for the data set with B(O) values less than three, that };(O) B(O), P, and };(Si) are all significant with an R2 value of 0.62.

  • 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. Key words: Valence State, Quantum Potential, Ionization Radius Introduction electronegative elements used to be distinguished tra- ditionally [1].

  • 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.

  • Unit 3 Notes: Periodic Table Notes  John Newlands Proposed an Organization System Based on Increasing Atomic Mass in 1864
    Unit 3 Notes: Periodic Table Notes John Newlands proposed an organization system based on increasing atomic mass in 1864. He noticed that both the chemical and physical properties repeated every 8 elements and called this the ____Law of Octaves ___________. In 1869 both Lothar Meyer and Dmitri Mendeleev showed a connection between atomic mass and an element’s properties. Mendeleev published first, and is given credit for this. He also noticed a periodic pattern when elements were ordered by increasing ___Atomic Mass _______________________________. By arranging elements in order of increasing atomic mass into columns, Mendeleev created the first Periodic Table. This table also predicted the existence and properties of undiscovered elements. After many new elements were discovered, it appeared that a number of elements were out of order based on their _____Properties_________. In 1913 Henry Mosley discovered that each element contains a unique number of ___Protons________________. By rearranging the elements based on _________Atomic Number___, the problems with the Periodic Table were corrected. This new arrangement creates a periodic repetition of both physical and chemical properties known as the ____Periodic Law___. Periods are the ____Rows_____ Groups/Families are the Columns Valence electrons across a period are There are equal numbers of valence in the same energy level electrons in a group. 1 When elements are arranged in order of increasing _Atomic Number_, there is a periodic repetition of their physical and chemical

    entropy Article Constraint Closure Drove Major Transitions in the Origins of Life Niles E. Lehman 1 and Stuart. A. Kauffman 2,* 1 Edac Research, 1879 Camino Cruz Blanca, Santa Fe, NM 87505, USA; [email protected] 2 Institute for Systems Biology, Seattle, WA 98109, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Life is an epiphenomenon for which origins are of tremendous interest to explain. We provide a framework for doing so based on the thermodynamic concept of work cycles. These cycles can create their own closure events, and thereby provide a mechanism for engendering novelty. We note that three significant such events led to life as we know it on Earth: (1) the advent of collective autocatalytic sets (CASs) of small molecules; (2) the advent of CASs of reproducing informational polymers; and (3) the advent of CASs of polymerase replicases. Each step could occur only when the boundary conditions of the system fostered constraints that fundamentally changed the phase space. With the realization that these successive events are required for innovative forms of life, we may now be able to focus more clearly on the question of life’s abundance in the universe. Keywords: origins of life; constraint closure; RNA world; novelty; autocatalytic sets 1. Introduction The plausibility of life in the universe is a hotly debated topic. As of today, life is only known to exist on Earth. Thus, it may have been a singular event, an infrequent event, or a common event, albeit one that has thus far evaded our detection outside our own planet. Herein, we will not attempt to argue for any particular frequency of life.

  • Atomic Structures of the M Olecular Components in DNA and RNA Based on Bond Lengths As Sums of Atomic Radii
    1 Atomic St ructures of the M olecular Components in DNA and RNA based on Bond L engths as Sums of Atomic Radii Raji Heyrovská (Institute of Biophysics, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The author’s interpretation in recent years of bond lengths as sums of the relevant atomic/ionic radii has been extended here to the bonds in the skeletal structures of adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine, uracil, ribose, deoxyribose and phosphoric acid. On examining the bond length data in the literature, it has been found that the averages of the bond lengths are close to the sums of the corresponding atomic covalent radii of carbon (tetravalent), nitrogen (trivalent), oxygen (divalent), hydrogen (monovalent) and phosphorus (pentavalent). Thus, the conventional molecular structures have been resolved here (for the first time) into probable atomic structures. 1. Introduction The interpretation of the bond lengths in the molecules constituting DNA and RNA have been of interest ever since the discovery [1] of the molecular structure of nucleic acids. This work was motivated by the earlier findings [2a,b] that the inter-atomic distance between any two atoms or ions is, in general, the sum of the radii of the atoms (and or ions) constituting the chemical bond, whether the bond is partially or fully ionic or covalent. It 2 was shown in [3] that the lengths of the hydrogen bonds in the Watson- Crick [1] base pairs (A, T and C, G) of nucleic acids as well as in many other inorganic and biochemical compounds are sums of the ionic or covalent radii of the hydrogen donor and acceptor atoms or ions and of the transient proton involved in the hydrogen bonding.
