The Modern Periodic Table Representative Elements: (main group elements) Incomplete s or p shell determine elemental properties 5
Valence and Core Electrons Valence electrons: Highest shell farthest from nucleus Largest principal quantum number (n) Located on the outside of the atom Determine the behavior of the atom 6 Core electrons Located on the inside in inner shells. Principal quantum number is lower Example Oxygen, O Z = 8 valence electrons e- = 6 Core electrons e- = 2 2 2 4 1s 2s 2 p 2 4 2s 2 p 2 1s
Effect of Valence electrons on Elements Elements most stable with noble gas configuration Last column in periodic table No electrons want to be added or removed Octet rule satisfied (8 electrons= 2s + 6p) Isoelectronic: ion has same spdf as noble gas Helium (and Hydrogen) follow duet rule (2 electrons) 7 Main group elements Valence electrons: s 2 p 6 Electrons are added: form anions Electrons removed: form cations Transition metals All form cations Remove electrons from shell 4s before 3d, 5s before 4d, etc.
8 Periodic Properties in Main Group Elements
Atomic Radius Atomic radius increases from top to bottom in a group Electrons are shielded from nucleus Previous shells blocks attraction Effective nuclear charge decreases Large size difference between shells 9 Atomic radius decreases from left to right across a row Little shielding as all electrons in same shell Effective nuclear charge higher as protons added to nucleus Electrons draw closer to nucleus
Anions larger than atoms Low effective nuclear charge More electrons More repulsion Ionic Radius Cations smaller than atoms High effective nuclear charge Fewer electrons Less repulsion 10
Ionization Energy Energy needed to remove an e- from a gaseous atom (or ion) X(g) X + + (g) + 1e- Endothermic Decreases top to bottom: Electrons shielded from nucleus Increases from left to right: Atoms want to now gain electrons 11 3 rd ionization energy > 2 nd >1 st: Higher effective nuclear charge
Elemental Ionization Energies 12
Electron Affinity Energy released when an electron is added to a gaseous atom X(g) + 1e- X - (g) Exothermic 13 Increases bottom to top Small atom (F) High nuclear:e- attraction Increases left to right Small atom (F) High nuclear:e- attraction 2 nd electron affinities lower: Electrons add to already negative ion
