Locating elements in The Periodic TableLocating elements in The Periodic Table
• In The Periodic Table elements are organized on the basis of their electronic configuration
• The highest ‘n’ value in electronic configuration determines the period of that element.
• No of outer shell e determines the Group
§ If at s & p orbital of the outer shell have 1 to 7 e (s1 to s2
p5) then they are elements of Group I to VII
Ex: Na (11) – 1s22s22p63s1 : Group I
Cl (17) – 1s22s22p63s23p5 : Group VII
§ If at s & p orbital of outer shell have s2 p6 then the element is in group O. Ex: Ne (10)
§ Again at d & s orbital of outer shell determines the Group
Ex: Sc (21) - 1s22s22p63s23p63d14s2 : Group III
Cont’dCont’d
§But at d & s orbital of outer shell, if there are 8/9/10 e then it is in the Group VIII
Ex: Fe (26) - 1s22s22p63s23p63d64s2 : Group VIII
§If you have more then 10 e at d & s of outer shell then only ‘s’ orbital’s e will give the Group
Ex: Cu (29) - 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s1 : Group I
• ‘A’ Sub Group: if at the outer shell you do not have ‘d’ orbital or ‘d’ is filled only then it in ‘A’ Sub
Ex: Cl (17) – 1s22s22p63s23p5 : Group VIIA
Ga (31) - 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p1 : Group IIIA
• ‘B’ Sub Group: if you have e in ‘d’ orbital at outer shell (d1–d10) then it is in ‘B’ Sub Group
Ex: Sc (21) - 1s22s22p63s23p63d14s2 : Group IIIB
Zn (30) - 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s2 : Group IIB

Valence Electrons
• The electrons in all the sub-shells with the highest principal energy shell are called the valence electrons
• e in lower energy shells are called core electrons
• Starting with one valence electron for the first element in a period, the number of electrons increases as you move from left to right across a period.
• chemists have observed that one of the most important factors in the way an atom behaves, both chemically and physically, is the number of valence electrons
Electron Configuration of Anions Electron Configuration of Anions
• Anions are formed when atoms gain enough electrons to have 8 valence electrons– filling the s and p sublevels of the valence shell
• The sulfur atom has 6 valence electronsS atom = 1s22s22p63s23p4
• In order to have 8 valence electrons, it must gain 2 moreS2- anion = 1s22s22p63s23p6
When an atom or molecule gain or loses an eWhen an atom or molecule gain or loses an e-- it becomes an it becomes an ionion
•• A A cationcation has lost ehas lost e-- and therefore has positive chargeand therefore has positive charge
•• An An anionanion has gained an ehas gained an e-- and therefore has a negative and therefore has a negative charge.charge.
Electron Configuration of Cations• cations are formed when an atom loses all its valence
electrons
– resulting in a new lower energy level valence shell
– however the process is always endothermic
• the magnesium atom has 2 valence electronsMg atom = 1s22s22p63s2
• when it forms a cation, it loses its valence electronsMg2+ cation = 1s22s22p6
• for transition metals electrons, may be removed from the sublevel closest to the valence shell
Al atom = 1s22s22p63s23p1
Al+3 ion = 1s22s22p6
Fe atom = 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d6
Fe+2 ion = 1s22s22p63s23p63d6
Fe+3 ion = 1s22s22p63s23p63d5
Cu atom = 1s22s22p63s23p64s13d10
Cu+1 ion = 1s22s22p63s23p63d10
DevelopmentDevelopment ofof thethe PeriodicPeriodic TableTable• There were 114 elements known by 1999.• The majority of the elements were discovered
between 1735 and 1843.• How do we organize 114 different elements in a
meaningful way that will allow us to make predictions about undiscovered elements?
• Arrange elements to reflect the trends in chemical and physical properties.
• First attempt (Mendeleev and Meyer) arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic weight.

The elements were first arranged in this way by Dmitri Mendeleev, a professor at St. Petersburg University, in 1869. His arrangement was based on atomic mass.
When Mendeleev was setting out the table, only 63 elements had been discovered. His big idea was to leave gaps for yet to be discovered elements. He was able to predict the properties of some of these elements, including silicon and boron. When his predictions were shown to be accurate his table became accepted, and it is the basis of the one we use today.
• Moseley later discovered that the periodic nature of the elements was associated with atomic number, not atomic mass
• The Periodic Law
– When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic pattern in their physical and chemical properties.
The Father of the Periodic Table —Dimitri Mendeleev
–The periodic table is made up of rows of elements and columns.
–An element is identified by its chemical symbol.
–The number above the symbol is the atomic number
–The number below the symbol is the atomic weight of the element.
–A row is called a period
–A column is called a family or group
–Elements are arranged left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number
–This order usually coincides with increasing atomic mass

• Periodic Patterns– The chemical behavior of elements is determined by
its electron configuration
– The first three periods contain just A families. Each period begins with a single electron in a new outer electron shell.
– Each period ends with a completely filled outer shell that has the maximum number of electrons for that shell.
– The outer shell electrons are responsible for chemical reactions. Elements in the same family have the same number of outer shell electrons; so they will have similar chemical properties.
– Group A elements are called representative elements
– Group B elements are called transition elements.

• Chemical Families– IA are called alkali metals because the react with
water to from an alkaline solution, very soft metals. (except H2)
– Group IIA are called the alkali earth metals because mostly we found them in soils as salts/minerals & they are also reactive, but not as reactive as Group IA.
• They are also soft metals, though not as soft as alkali metals
– Group VIIA are the halogens
• These need only one electron to fill their outer shell
• They are very reactive.( disinfectants, bleach)
– Group VIIIA are the noble gases as they have completely filled outer shells
• They are almost non reactive.
Metals, Nonmetals, and MetalloidsMetals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids
MetalsMetals•Metallic character refers to the properties of metals
– Shiny or lustrous– Malleable (can be hammered into shape)– Ductile (can be drawn out into wires)– All except mercury are solids at room temperature– They are sonorous (make a ringing sound when hit)– In solution lose electrons in reactions - oxidized– Most oxides are basic and ionic
Ex: Metal oxide + water → metal hydroxideNa2O(s) + H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq)
– Tends to form cation in aqueous solution• Metallic character increases down a group.• Metallic character decreases across a period.
Only a few metals are magnetic.Magnetism is not a property of most metals!
Metals, Nonmetals, and MetalloidsMetals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids
MetalsMetals• When metals are oxidized they tend to form
characteristics cations.• All group 1A metals form M+ ions.• All group 2A metals form M2+ ions.• Most transition metals have variable charges.
Properties of Non-Metals
§ They are poor conductors of electrical energy§ They are poor conductors of thermal
energy§Many of them are gases§ They are brittle if they are solid§ Form anions§Most oxides are acidicEx: nonmetal oxide + water → acid
P4O10(s) + H2O(l) → 4H3PO4(aq)§Gain electrons in reactions –
reduced§When nonmetals react with metals,
nonmetals tend to gain electrons:metal + nonmetal → salt

Metals,Metals, Nonmetals,Nonmetals, andand MetalloidsMetalloids
MetalloidsMetalloidsMetalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.Example: Si (shown here) has a metallic luster but it is brittle.
Metalloids have found fame in the semiconductor industry.
The Groups of the Periodic Table
• Group 1: The Alkali Metals
– Most reactive metals on the PT
– Rarely found free in nature
– Charge of +1 = 1 valence electron
• Group 2: The Alkaline Earth Metals– Still quite reactive
– Charge of +2 = 2 valence electrons
• Groups 3-12: Transition Metals– Found freely and in compounds in nature
– Charge is usually +2 but can vary = usually 2 valence electrons
• Group 13: Boron Family
– Charge is +3 = 3 valence electrons
The Groups of the Periodic Table
• Group 14: The Carbon Family
– Contains elements that can form unusual bonds (carbon and silicon)
– Charge is +4 or -4 = contains 4 valence electrons
• Group 15: The Nitrogen Family
– Charge is -3 = contains 5 valence electrons• Group 16: The Oxygen Family
– Also known as the chalcogens– Charge is -2 = 6 valence electrons
• Group 17: The Halogens– Most reactive nonmetals– charge is -1 = 7 valence electrons
• Group 18: The Noble Gases (The Inert Gases)– Nonreactive – Charge is 0 = 2 or 8 valence electrons
Periodic Properties
• Periodic law = elements arranged by atomic number gives physical and chemical properties varying periodically.
• Various Elemental Properties change fairly smoothly going across a period or down a group.
• We will study the following periodic trends:– Atomic radii
– Ionization energy
– Electron affinity
– Melting Points and Boiling Points
– Density

Atomic SizesAtomic Sizes• As a consequence of the ordering in the periodic table, properties of elements vary periodically.
• Atomic size varies consistently through the periodic table.
• As we move down a group, the atoms become larger.
• As we move across a period, atoms become smaller.
There are two factors at work:•principal quantum number, n, and•the effective nuclear charge, Zeff.
ElectronElectron ShellsShells andand thethe SizesSizes ofof AtomsAtoms
• As the principle quantum number increases (i.e., we move down a group), the distance of the outermost electron from the nucleus becomes larger. Hence, the atomic radius increases.
• As we move across the periodic table, the number of core electrons remains constant. However, the nuclear charge increases. Therefore, there is an increased attraction between the nucleus and the outermost electrons. This attraction causes the atomic radius to decrease.
• increase in size down the Group
• atomic radii of transition metals roughly the same size across the d block– valence shell ns2, not the d electrons
– effective nuclear charge on the ns2 electrons approximately the same

Trends in Ionic Radius
• Ions in same group have same charge
• Ion size increases down the group– higher valence shell, larger
• Cations smaller than neutral atom; Anions bigger than neutral atom
• Cations smaller than anions– except Rb+1 & Cs+1 bigger or same size as F-1 and O-2
• Larger positive charge = smaller cation – for isoelectronic species
– isoelectronic = same electron configuration
• Larger negative charge = larger anion – for isoelectronic series

Ionization Energy
• minimum energy needed to remove an electron from an atom – gas state
– endothermic process
– valence electron easiest to remove
– M(g) + IE1 → M1+(g) + 1 e-
– M+1(g) + IE2 → M2+(g) + 1 e-
• first ionization energy = energy to remove electron from neutral atom; 2nd IE = energy to remove from +1 ion; etc.
• IE increases (irregularly) as you move from left to right across a period.
• IE decreases (irregularly) as you move down a group. 40
IonizationIonization EnergyEnergy
• The first ionization energy, I1, is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom:
Na(g) → Na+(g) + e-.•The second ionization energy, I2, is the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous ion:
Na+(g) → Na2+(g) + e-.
The larger ionization energy, the more difficult it is to remove the electron.There is a sharp increase in ionization energy when a core electron is removed.
41
General Trends in 1st Ionization Energy
• larger the effective nuclear charge on the electron, the more energy it takes to remove it
• the farther the most probable distance the electron is from the nucleus, the less energy it takes to remove it
• 1st IE decreases down the group– valence electron farther from nucleus
• 1st IE generally increases across the period– effective nuclear charge increases

Trends in Successive Ionization Energies
• removal of each successive electron costs more energy
– shrinkage in size due to having more protons than electrons
– outer electrons closer to the nucleus, therefore harder to remove
• regular increase in energy for each successive valence electron
• large increase in energy when start removing core electrons

ElectronElectron AffinitiesAffinities
• Electron affinity is the opposite of ionization energy.• Electron affinity is the energy change when a gaseous atom gains an electron to form a gaseous ion:
Cl(g) + e- → Cl-(g)• Electron affinity can either be exothermic (as the above example) or endothermic:• more energy released (more -); the larger the EAgenerally increases across period

Magnetic Properties of Transition Metal Atoms & Ions
• electron configurations that result in unpaired electrons mean that the atom or ion will have a net magnetic field – this is called paramagnetism– will be attracted to a magnetic field
• electron configurations that result in all paired electrons mean that the atom or ion will have no magnetic field – this is called diamagnetism– slightly repelled by a magnetic field
• both Zn atoms and Zn2+ ions are diamagnetic, showing that the two 4s electrons are lost before the 3d– Zn atoms [Ar]4s23d10
– Zn2+ ions [Ar]4s03d10

• Fe3+ ion = [Ar]4s03d5
• unpaired electrons • paramagnetic
Melting Points and Boiling Points•Trends in melting Points and boiling points can be used as a measure of the attractive forces between atoms or molecules.
•Within the halogens (group 17 or VIIA) melting points and boiling points increase so that at room temperature fluorine and chlorine are gases, bromine is a liquid, and iodine is a solid as you go down this periodic group.
•This indicates that the intermolecular forces become stronger going down a group.
•In the second period, melting points increase, going from left to right across the period for the first four elements.
• Melting points then decrease drastically for nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine, which are all diatomic molecules.
• The lowest melting point is for neon, which is monatomic.
Melting Point Trends in Period
Melting Points of Elements Trends in Density
•Densities of elements increase in a group as atomic number increases.
•In periods, going from left to right, densities increase, then decrease.
•Elements with the greatest densities are at the center of period 6.
