Overview u Periodic Table u Electron Shells & Sizes of Atoms u Ionization Energy u Electron Affinities u Metals, Nonmetals & Metalloids and Trends
Periodic Table u 1869 -- Dmitri Mendeleev & Lothar Meyer ° published classification schemes of elements ° based on order of increasing elemental atomic weight · which follows atomic number ° some missing elements were “discovered” based upon prediction that they should be there ¨ Henry Moseley ° related energy of nuclear x-rays to atomic number
Sizes of Atoms u Electron Shells oquantum mechanical model predicts shells of electron density oas number of protons increases, inner shells are held more tightly, closer to nucleus u Sizes of Atoms oatom boundaries are difficult to assess odefine atom size as ½ the distance between nuclei of two bound atoms
Cl Cl + + r Atomic radii = ½ distance between the nuclei
General Trends of Physical Properties u most trends are related to Zeff, effective nuclear charge odue to increase in distance from nucleus and shielding, Zeff decreases going down a group odue to ineffective shielding by electrons in the same shell, Zeff increases going across a row Zeff decreases increases
u Compare valence e- ‘s of Na and Cs owhich will be held more tightly by nucleus? • the e- that is closest to the nucleus owhich will be closest to the nucleus? • Na’s 3 s electron u Compare last electron of C and F owhich has more protons interacting? • ZF = 9 while ZC = 4 • do e- in the same subshell shield their fellow e- ‘s very well? – no • so which last e- will experience the greatest Zeff? –F
General Trends in Atomic Size u u radius increases on going down a group (Zeff decreases) radius tends to decrease on going left to right across a row (Zeff increases) size increases decreases
u We know that Zeff decreases going down a group, how does that affect size? o. As Zeff (on a valence e- ) decreases, it is less tightly held, hence can expand somewhat u We know that Zeff increases going across a row, how does that affect size? o. As Zeff (on a last e-) increases, it is more tightly held, hence contraction occurs and atom is smaller
u Compare valence e- ‘s of Na and Cs owhich experiences the greatest Zeff ? • Na’s 3 s electron (bec. it is closest to nucleus) owhich atom will be smaller? • Na < Cs u Compare last electron of C and F owhich has more protons interacting? • ZF = 9 while ZC = 4 • do e- in the same subshell shield their fellow e- ‘s very well? – no • so which last e- will experience the greatest Zeff? –F • which atom will experience greatest contraction? – F will be more contracted, hence smaller
Trends in Ionization Energy u u ionization energy decreases going down (Zeff decreases) ionization energy increases going across (Zeff increases) I. E. decreases increases
u Ionization Energy -- endothermic process ofirst ionization energy, I 1 -- to remove first electron • M ® M+ + 1 e - osecond ionization energy, I 2 -- to remove second electron • M+ ® M 2+ + 1 e - othird ionization energy, I 3 -- to remove third electron • M 2+ ® M 3+ + 1 e u I 1 < I 2 < I 3
u Note: removal of inner core electrons is very energy expensive Element I 1 I 2 I 3 Na 496 4560 Mg 738 1450 7730 Al 578 1820 2750 I 4 11, 600
u The more tightly an e- is held, the more energy it takes to remove it oin other words, greater Zeff = greater I. E. u Compare valence e- ‘s of Na and Cs owhich has greater Zeff? • Na owhich has greater I 1? • Na (Cs’s 6 s electron is further away, less tightly held and easier to remove than Na’s 3 s electron) u Compare last e- of C and F owhich has greater Zeff? • F owhich has greater I 1? • F (more tightly held, more energy to remove)
u u u transition metals and f-block metals show small variation in ionization energies across rows representative elements show a larger range of values for I 1 irregularities in ionization energies occur due to shielding o. I 1 for Al < I 1 for Mg -- removal of p versus s electron o. I 1 for O < I 1 for N -- removal of p electron to produce stable configuration
Electron Affinities u energy change associated with adding an electron to gaseous atom omeasures attraction of atom for the added electron • Cl(g) + 1 e - ® Cl - DE = -349 k. J/mol oexothermic process u most electron affinities are exothermic osome exceptions & irregularities • nobel gases • Be & Mg • Group III elements
