Periodic Table & Periodic Trends I. Importance of Classification A. Makes large sums of information manageable. B. In chemistry, it reduces the number of reactions that need to be studied. II. History & Development A. In the 1700s Antoine Lavoisier made a list of the 33 known elements and placed them in 4 categories. B. In 1860 Stanislo Cannizzaro presented a standard method for measuring atomic masses. C. In 1864 John Newlands arranged the elements in groups of 8 and noticed that elements grouped this way had similar properties. The law of octaves related the pattern of properties based on a musical analogy. D. In 1870 Lothar Meyer and Dimitri Mendeleev observed a connection between atomic mass and element properties. Mendeleev worked out the first Periodic Table similar to the Modern Periodic Table. a. He arranged it in order of increasing atomic mass. b. Left spaces for undiscovered elements and allowed for the prediction of their properties. E. In 1911 Henry Moseley discovered that the elements differed by an increase in positive charge. When the table was organized by an increase one in the positive charge many of the exceptions to Mendeleev s arrangement were removed. The Periodic Table is now arranged by increasing atomic number. III. Periodic Law: Physical & chemical properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers. A. Periodic- any regular repeating pattern B. Occurs because the valence electrons determine how an element will react. IV. Regions of the Periodic Table There are three main regions of the periodic table: A. Metals largest region of the table and left of the stair step. Basic properties: good conductors (poor insulators) of heat and electricity, ductile, malleable, most are solids at room temperature, shiny. B. Nonmetals to the right of the stair step. Basic properties: good insulators (poor conductors) of heat and electricity, most are either brittle solids or gasses at room temperature, Br is the only liquid. C. Metalloids the elements bordering the stair step and located between the metals and nonmetals. Metalloids have the properties of both metals and nonmetals and are considered semiconductors or semimetals. The elements that are metalloids are B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te.
V. Period or Series- the horizontal rows of the Periodic Table. There are seven periods and they correspond to the seven energy levels (n), range from 1-7. VI. Group or Family- Vertical columns of the Periodic Table. All the elements in a column have similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons. Range from 1-18. A. Group 1 or IA- Alkali Metal or Sodium Family 1. Francium is the most active member (Fr) 2. All have one valence electron 3. They have a +1 oxidation number in a compound 4. Highly reactive B. Group 2 or IIA- Alkaline Earth Metals or Calcium Family 1. Radium is the most active member 2. They have two valence electrons 3. They have a +2 oxidation number in 4. Highly reactive C. Group 13 or IIIA- Boron Family 1. Boron is the most active member 2. They have three valence electrons 3. They have a +3 oxidation number in 4. Boron is a metalloid D. Group 14 or IVA- Carbon Family 1. Carbon is the most active member 2. They have four valence electrons 3. They have a +2 or +4 oxidation number in 4. Silicon and Germanium are metalloids E. Group 15 or VA- Nitrogen Family 1. Nitrogen is the most active member 2. Nitrogen & Phosphorus are nonmetals 3. As & Sb are metalloids 4. They have five valence electrons 5. They have a -3 oxidation number in F. Group 16 or VIA- Oxygen Family 1. Oxygen is the most active member 2. O, S, & Se are nonmetals 3. Tellurium (Te) is a metalloid 4. They have 6 valence electrons 5. They have a -2 oxidation number in G. Group 17 or VIIA- Halogens or Fluorine Family 1. Fluorine is the most active member 2. All are nonmetals 3. They have 7 valence electrons 4. They have a -1 oxidation number in 5. Highly reactive H. Group 18 or VIIIA- Noble Gas or Inert Gas Family 1. These are inactive; do not react, inert 2. Have 8 valence electrons except for He which has 2 valence electrons VII. Transition Metals Are found in the center of the periodic table and make up the majority of the elements. The Lanthandide and Actinide Series are specifically called the Inner Transition Metals. VIII. Periodic Trends/Properties A. Atomic Radius (AR)- Radius-half the distance between the nuclei in a molecule consisting of identical atoms; influenced by nuclear pull and number of energy levels. Zeff- the effective nuclear charge of an atom; the degree of attraction of the positive nucleus to the negative electron cloud. Going across a period: atomic number = atomic radii -Zeff increases attraction of the nucleus pulls the electron cloud closer smaller radius Going down a group: atomic number = atomic radii -Increased number of energy levels (n) increases the distance over which the nucleus must pull and thus reduces the attraction for electrons -Full energy levels provide some shielding between the nucleus and valence electrons
B. Ionization Energy (I.E.)- I.E.-Measures how tightly an atom holds on to its electrons. Equal to the amount of energy needed to remove an e - from a gaseous atom or ion. Always endothermic. Going across a period: atomic number = ionization energy - Zeff increases attraction of nucleus and holds e - more tightly - Some exceptions occur in groups II-III & V-VI Drops in I.E. between groups II-III occur because p-orbital e - do not penetrate the nuclear region like s-orbital e - so they are not as tightly held Drops in I.E. between groups V-VI occur because increased repulsion created by first pairing of electrons outweighs Zeff less energy is required to remove electrons Going down a group: atomic number = ionization energy - An increased number of energy levels (n) increases the distance over which the nucleus must pull the attraction for electrons is reduced - Full energy levels provide some shielding between nucleus and valence electrons Generally Speaking: - Metals- low I.E. easy to remove electrons - Nonmetals- high I.E. hard to remove electrons - Transition elements- intermediate I.E. - Noble gases- very high I.E. Atomic Radius First Ionization Energy C. Electron Affinity (E.A.)- E.A.- Measures an atoms ability to attract electrons Involves the addition of an e - to a gaseous atom or ion (NOTE: E.A. is NOT opposite of I.E.) Affinity can be exothermic or endothermic; a negative sign (negative E.A.) indicates the direction of energy flow out of the system Across a period: atomic number = electron affinity Down a group: atomic number = electron affinity Generally Speaking: - Nonmetals- high E.A. - Metals- low E.A. D. Electronegativity- Property that measures the attraction of an atom for the pair of outer shell electrons in a covalent bond with another atom
Patterns are the same as electron affinity Focus is on the attraction that the nucleus has for electrons Across a period: atomic number = electronegativity - Zeff increases attraction of nucleus and strengthens attraction for electrons Down a group: atomic number = electronegativity - Increased number of energy levels (n) increases the distance over which the nucleus must pull the attraction for electrons is reduced - Full energy levels provide some shielding between nucleus and valence electrons E. Ionic Radius (I.R.)- I.R.- The distance from the nucleus to the outer edge of the electron cloud in a charged atom Positive Ions (cations)- - Are smaller than their respective neutral atoms - Result from the loss of valence electrons - The ratio of p to e increases electrons are held closer and with more strength Negative Ions (anion)- - Are larger than their respective neutral atoms - Result from the addition of valence electrons - Ratio of p to e decreases electrons are not held as closely - Ratio of e to e increases repulsions; this also plays a role in expanding e cloud F. Reactivity- Depends on whether the element reacts by losing electrons (metals), or gaining electrons (nonmetals) Metals: - More reactive as you move down a group, directly tied to I.E. - Metals react by losing electrons and loosely bound electrons result in a more active metal - With an increase in the number of energy levels (n) comes an increase in distance from nuclear attraction and thus more loosely held electrons available for reacting. Nonmetals: - More reactive as you move up a group - Nonmetals tend to gain electrons - A strong nuclear attraction will result in a more reactive nonmetal atoms with high Zeff and least number of energy levels (n) should be the most reactive nonmetal because its nucleus exerts the strongest pull. Electronegativity
