Scientific Literacy Theme : Periodic Classification of Elements Unit 1 SCIENTIFIC LITERACY THEME : PERIODIC CLASSIFICATION OF ELEMENTS UNIT 1 : IUPAC NOMENCLATURE OF ELEMENTS While studying the arrangement of elements Aditya found that there are some elements with atomic number greater than 100 have not named till now as per the periodic table. He tried to find the system to know their names and he found that IUPAC recommended a system of naming new elements till they have given a proper name. the table for naming the elements is given below. With every name a suffix ‘ium’ is added. Digit 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Root nil un bi tri quad pent hep sept oct Enn abbreviation n u b t q p h s o e Question 1 The IUPAC name for the element with atomic number 120 is (a) Ununquadrdium (b) Unununium (c) Unbinilium (d) unmilennium Question 2 The symbol for IUPAC element unnilquadium is (a) unt (b) unq (c) uno (d) uub Question 3 what is the name and symbol of element with atomic number 118? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 4 Write the name and atomic number of element with symbol uuu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNIT 2 : ELEMENT POSITION IN PERIODIC TABLE Three elements X, Y, and Z have atomic numbers 10, 21 and 32 respectively. Garima wants to explain the properties of these elements according to the Modern Periodic Table. On studying the modern periodic table, Garima could answer the following questions. Question 1 in which group does the element X exist? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 2 In which period does the element Y exist? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 3 What is the valency of element Z? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 4 Arrange the three elements X, Y and Z from non-metal to metal. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNIT 3 : CHEMICAL NATURE OF ELEMENTS ACCORDING TO POSITION IN PERIODIC TABLE Abdul and Raghav were discussing about the chemical nature of elements as they are given the position in modern periodic table. Raghav wanted to know about the metallic and non-metallic nature of the elements while Abdul was interested in oxidation of elements. After studying the periodic table thoroughly and discussion they are able to understand the position of chemicals and their chemical nature. Question 1 20 Abdul said Ca will form oxide by reacting with oxygen as CaO2. Do you agree with Abdul? Justify your answer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 2 Raghav said that along the period of periodic table, metallic nature of elements decreases. Is he correct? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 3 Iron forms its oxide as Fe2O3 and Fe3O4. Give reason for such behavior of iron. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 4 Raghav said that between sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, NaOH is more basic in nature. According to you which is more basic NaOH or KOH? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNIT 4 ANOMALY IN MODERN PERIODIC TABLE Meenal studied the modern periodic table and found some anomalies in it. She found two positions of hydrogen in periodic table while helium get a special position. Similarly after lanthanum with atomic number 57, the next element is not Cesium with atomic number 58. But there is another element Hafnium with atomic number 72. Similarly after Actinium with atomic number 89, next element is not thorium with atomic number 90 but there is another element Rutherfordium with atomic number 104. She found that at the bottom of periodic table there are two series of elements in which these missing elements are placed. She wanted to know the reason behind it. Question 1 Hydrogen has given two positions in the periodic table. Give reason. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 2 Helium has not got a proper position in periodic table. It has only two electrons in its orbit but it lies in 18th group. According to preparation of periodic table it should be in 2nd group. Justify the reason. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 3 In 6th period, after lanthanum of atomic number 57, the next element is Hafnium with atomic number 72 instead of Cesium of atomic number 58. Why? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNIT 5 : POSITION OF ISOTOPES AND ISOBARS IN PERIODIC TABLE Mohan’s teacher taught him the modern periodic table. He told that the periodic table is made according to the atomic number of elements. He also taught that these elements have a special characteristics of being metallic nature in organized manner. As the atomic number of an element increases its mass number also increases. While teaching about elements he also told about isotopes and isobars. Question 1 While studying the carbon dating, Mohan came to know about an isotope of carbon as C14. At which position in modern periodic table you will place it and why? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 2 C14 and N14 has same mass number as 14. Can you place them at same position in modern periodic table? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 3 What do you understand by carbon dating? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 4 What is the difference between isotopes and isobars? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Dirac-Exact Relativistic Methods: the Normalized Elimination of the Small Component Method† Dieter Cremer,∗ Wenli Zou and Michael Filatov
    Advanced Review Dirac-exact relativistic methods: the normalized elimination of the small component method† Dieter Cremer,∗ Wenli Zou and Michael Filatov Dirac-exact relativistic methods, i.e., 2- or 1-component methods which exactly reproduce the one-electron energies of the original 4-component Dirac method, have established a standard for reliable relativistic quantum chemical calculations targeting medium- and large-sized molecules. Their development was initiated and facilitated in the late 1990s by Dyall’s development of the normalized elimination of the small component (NESC). Dyall’s work has fostered the conversion of NESC and related (later developed) methods into routinely used, multipurpose Dirac- exact methods by which energies, first-order, and second-order properties can be calculated at computational costs, which are only slightly higher than those of nonrelativistic methods. This review summarizes the development of a generally applicable 1-component NESC algorithm leading to the calculation of reliable energies, geometries, electron density distributions, electric moments, electric field gradients, hyperfine structure constants, contact densities and Mossbauer¨ isomer shifts, nuclear quadrupole coupling constants, vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities, and static electric dipole polarizabilities. In addition, the derivation and computational possibilities of 2-component NESC methods are discussed and their use for the calculation of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects in connection with spin-orbit splittings and SOC-corrected

The 2cNESC is a Dirac-exact method that employs the exact two- component one-electron Hamiltonian and thus leads to exact Dirac SO splittings for one-electron atoms. For many-electron atoms and molecules, the effect of the two-electron SO interaction is mod- eled by a screened nucleus potential using effective nuclear charges as proposed by Boettger [Phys. Rev. B 62, 7809 (2000)]. The use of the screened nucleus potential for the two-electron SO inter- action leads to accurate spinor energy splittings, for which the deviations from the accurate Dirac Fock-Coulomb values are on the average far below the deviations observed for other effective one- electron SO operators.

  • Short Notes on Periodic Table Modern Periodic Table: Earlier Scientists
    Short Notes on Periodic Table Modern Periodic Table: Earlier scientists assumed that the properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic masses. On the basis of this assumption, Mendeleev placed 63 elements in a vertical column called groups and in horizontal rows called periods. This method was rejected as it could not explain the position of certain elements, rare earth metals, and isotopes. A scientist named Henry Moseley removed these defects and put forward the modern periodic table with the modern periodic law. Moseleys Periodic Law: He stated that the properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic number. Modern Periodic Table: A tabular arrangement of elements in groups and periods which highlights the regular trends in properties of elements is defined as the periodic table. Features of Modern Periodic Table There are eighteen vertical columns known as groups in the modern periodic table which are arranged from left to right and seven horizontal rows which are known as periods. Group number Group name Property Group 1 or IA Alkali metals They form strong alkalis with water Group 2 or IIA Alkaline earth They also form alkalis but weaker than group 1 elements metals Group 13 or IIIA Boron family Boron is the first member of this family Group 14 or IVA Carbon family Carbon is the first member of this property Group 15 or VA Nitrogen family This group has non-metals and metalloids Group 16 or VIA Oxygen family They are also known as chalcogens Group 17 or Halogen family The elements of this group form salts.
