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.

Weatherilla aJoint Quantum Center (JQC) Durham-Newcastle, Department of Physics, Durham University, South Road, Durham, DH1 3LE, United Kingdom bDepartment of Physics, SUPA, University of Strathclyde, 107 Rottenrow East, Glasgow, G4 0NG, United Kingdom Abstract We present an object-oriented Python library for computation of properties of highly-excited Rydberg states of alkali atoms. These include single-body effects such as dipole matrix elements, excited-state lifetimes (radiative and black-body limited) and Stark maps of atoms in external electric fields, as well as two-atom interaction potentials accounting for dipole and quadrupole coupling effects valid at both long and short range for arbitrary placement of the atomic dipoles. The package is cross-referenced to precise measurements of atomic energy levels and features extensive documentation to facilitate rapid upgrade or expansion by users. This library has direct application in the field of quantum information and quantum optics which exploit the strong Rydberg dipolar interactions for two-qubit gates, robust atom-light interfaces and simulating quantum many-body physics, as well as the field of metrology using Rydberg atoms as precise microwave electrometers.

This chemical motif is a key component of different functional structures, ranging from inorganic materials and polymers to rationally designed catalysts, to bioinspired molecules and enzymes. The formation of a selenium-nitrogen bond, and its disruption, are rather common events in organic Se-catalyzed processes. In nature, along the mechanistic path of glutathione peroxidase, evidence of the formation of a Se-N bond in highly oxidizing conditions has been reported and interpreted as a strategy to protect the selenoenzyme from overoxidation.

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
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. Development of Periodic Table •Dmitri Mendeleev and Lothar Meyer (~1869) independently came to the same conclusion about how elements should be grouped in the periodic table. •Henry Moseley (1913) developed the concept of atomic numbers (the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom) 1 Predictions and the Periodic Table Mendeleev, for instance, predicted the discovery of germanium (which he called eka-silicon) as an element with an atomic weight between that of zinc and arsenic, but with chemical properties similar to those of silicon.

Quantum-Mechanical Relation Between Atomic Dipole Polarizability and the Van Der Waals Radius (Supplemental Material)
Quantum-Mechanical Relation between Atomic Dipole Polarizability and the van der Waals Radius Dmitry V. Fedorov,1, ∗ Mainak Sadhukhan,1 Martin Stöhr,1 and Alexandre Tkatchenko1 1Physics and Materials Science Research Unit, University of Luxembourg, L-1511 Luxembourg The atomic dipole polarizability, α, and the van der Waals (vdW) radius, RvdW, are two key quantities to describe vdW interactions between atoms in molecules and materials. Until now, they have been determined independently and separately from each other. Here, we derive the quantum- 1/7 mechanical relation RvdW = const. × α which is markedly different from the common assumption 1/3 RvdW ∝ α based on a classical picture of hard-sphere atoms. As shown for 72 chemical elements between hydrogen and uranium, the obtained formula can be used as a unified definition of the vdW radius solely in terms of the atomic polarizability. For vdW-bonded heteronuclear dimers consisting of atoms A and B, the combination rule α = (αA + αB )/2 provides a remarkably accurate way to calculate their equilibrium interatomic distance. The revealed scaling law allows to reduce the empiricism and improve the accuracy of interatomic vdW potentials, at the same time suggesting the existence of a non-trivial relation between length and volume in quantum systems. The idea to use a specific radius, describing a distance by Bondi [8] has been extensively used. However, it is an atom maintains from other atoms in non-covalent in- based on a restricted amount of experimental informa- teractions, was introduced by Mack [1] and Magat [2]. tion available at that time.
