Draft for first version of Mendeleev's periodic table (17 February 1869).

“I began to look about and write down the elements with their atomic weights and typical properties, analogous elements and like atomic weights on separate cards, and this soon convinced me that the properties of elements are in periodic dependence upon their atomic weights. ” --Mendeleev, Principles of

Atomic Mass and Moles

Atomic Mass and Moles = number of protons (= number of electrons) = number of protons + neutrons (averaged over different isotopes) (1 u = 1. 661 x 10 -27 kg)

Isotopes isotopes = same number of protons, different number of neutrons Similar chemical properties, quite different nuclear properties!

Comparison of Bonding

Ionic Bonding Give up electrons Acquire electrons Adapted from Fig. 2. 7, Callister 6 e. (Fig. 2. 7 is adapted from Linus Pauling, The Nature of the Chemical Bond, 3 rd edition, Copyright 1939 and 1940, 3 rd edition. Copyright 1960 by Cornell University.

Covalent Bond • • Shared electrons One electron from an orbital in atom A One electron from an orbital in atom B They become ‘spin paired’

Copyright 1960 by Cornell University. • • • Molecules with nonmetals Molecules with metals and nonmetals Elemental solids (RHS of Periodic Table) Compound solids (about column IVA) Prevalent in ceramics and polymers

Metallic Bonding • Arises from a sea of donated valence electrons (1, 2, or 3 from each atom). Adapted from Fig. 2. 11, Callister 6 e. • Primary bond for metals and their alloys high electrical conductivity. Why?

Secondary Bonds • Bonds between atoms without electron transfer or sharing • Low bonding energies • Hydrogen Bonds – Water molecules are polar • Van der Waals Bonds – Attraction of opposite charges • Electron density fluctuates around an atom • Instantaneous dipole-induced dipole interaction

Graphite http: //www. soes. soton. ac. uk/resources/collection/minerals/pages/M 01 -Graphite. htm

Graphite www. webelements. com

Graphite Soft and slippery Many strong covalent bonds holding the structure together but only in 2 dimensions. The layers are free to slide easily over one another. Graphite powder is used as a lubricant. Brittle All of the bonds are directional within a layer and stress across a layer will tend to break them. Graphite rods used for electrolysis easily break when dropped. Electrical conductor Only three of the valence (outer shell) electrons are used in sigma bonding. The other electron is in a 'p' orbital which can overlap laterally with neighbouring 'p' orbitals making giant molecular pi orbitals that extend over the whole of each layer. Electrons are free to move within these delocalised pi orbitals. Insoluble in water. There are only very weak Van der Waal's attractions between the carbon atoms and the water molecules whereas the carbon atoms are bonded very tightly to one another. Many strong covalent bonds holding the layers together - it requires massive amounts of energy to pull it apart Very high melting point

Diamond Hard Many strong covalent bonds holding the structure together. Brittle All of the bonds are directional and stress will tend to break the structure (In a malleable substance, such as for example a metal, the bonding is non-directional and can still act if the particles are displaced with respect to one another). All of the valence (outer shell) electrons are used in bonding. The bonds are sigma and the electrons are located between the two carbon nuclei being bonded together. None of the electrons are free to move Insulator Insoluble in water. Very high melting point There are only very weak Van der Waal's attractions between the carbon atoms and the water molecules whereas the carbon atoms are bodned very tightly to one another. Many strong covalent bonds holding the structure together - it requires massive amounts of energy to pull it apart

Buckyballs Soft and slippery Brittle Few covalent bonds holding the molecules together but only weak Vander Waals forces between molecules. Soft weak crystals typical of covalent substances Electrical Insulator No movement of electrons available from one molecule to the next. The exception could be the formation of nano-tubes that are capable of conducting electricity along their length. These are the subject of some experiments in micro electronics Insoluble in water. There are only very weak Van der Waal's attractions between the carbon atoms and the water molecules whereas the carbon atoms are bonded very tightly to one another in the molecules. Low Melting Point Solids Typical of covalent crystals where only Van der Waal's interactions have to be broken for melting.

Nano Radio • http: //nsf. gov/news_summ. jsp? cntn_id=110566

When a radio wave of a specific frequency impinges on the nanotube, it begins to vibrate vigorously. An electric field applied to the nanotube forces electrons to be emitted from its tip. This electrical current may be used to detect the mechanical vibrations of the nanotube, and thus listen to the radio waves. • http: //nsf. gov/news_summ. jsp? cntn_id=110566

Os Transistors – the active component of virtually all electronic devices, are what we refer to as electronic switching devices. In a transistor, a small electric current can be used to control the on/off of a larger current.

Semiconducting CNTs have been used to fabricate field effect transistors (CNTFETs). The electron mean free path in SWCNTs can exceed 1 micron (this is very large) therefore it is projected that CNT devices will operate in the frequency range of hundreds of GHz.

CNT-FED Carbon nanotubes can be electrically conductive and due to their small diameter of several nanometers, they can be used as field emitters with extremely high efficiency for field emission displays (FED). The principle of operation resembles that of the cathode ray tube, but on a much smaller length scale.

Hydrogen Storage Carbon nanotubes covered in titanium atoms provide a very efficient method for storing hydrogen.

'Artificial muscles' made from nanotubes "Artificial muscles" have been made from millions of carbon nanotubes. Like natural muscles, providing an electrical charge causes the individual fibers to expand the whole structure to move.

Bone cells grown on carbon nanotubes Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have published findings that show, for the first time, that bone cells can grow and proliferate on a scaffold of carbon nanotubes. Scientists found that the nanotubes, 100, 000 times finer than a human hair, are an excellent scaffold for bone cells to grow on. http: //biosingularity. wordpress. com/2006/03/21/researchers-grow-bone-cells-oncarbon-nanotubes/ http: //neurophilosophy. wordpress. com/2006/03/17/123/

Nano SQUID A SQUID is a superconducting interferometer device. SQUID devices can be used to monitor infinitesimally small magnetic fields or currents. The originality of this work, is to use gate-tunable carbon-nanotubes (CNT) for the Josephson junctions. The device combines features of single electron transistors with typical properties of a SQUID interferometer. The gate tunability of the CNT junctions enhance the sensitivity of the device which can in principle detect the spin of a single molecule.
