CHAPTER 10 PERIODIC PROPERTIES


10-1, 10-2, 10-3, 10-4, 10-5, 10-6


10-1 Radii of Atoms

An element's position on the periodic table and its properties are related to its atomic number and its configuration.

Atomic radius increases down a group

In general atomic radius decreases from left to right across a period

the chlorine atom is smaller than the sodium atom

because properties of elements are based on electron configurations, many of these properties are predictable and repeat in periodic patterns. BACK TO THE TOP

10-2 Radii of ions

the sodium ion is smaller than the sodium atom

the configuration of Na+ is similar to neon

the configuration of Cl- is similar to argon

The chlorine ion is larger than the chlorine atom

ions that are free to move can conduct an electric current

metallic atoms form smaller ions because they tend to lose electrons when forming compounds

nonmetallic atoms form larger ions because they tend to gain electrons when forming compounds

density is another property of elements that varies periodically/ density increase and then decrease as we move left to right across a period of elements

when atoms forms ions they take on noble gas configurations BACK TO THE TOP

10-3 Predicting oxidation numbers

oxidation numbers can be predicted from electron configurations

compounds that contain the H- ion are called hydrides

col 1=+1; col 2=+2; col3=+3; col 4=+2 or +4; col 5=-3; col 6=-2 col 7=-1 col 8=0

10-4 First ionization energy

ionization energy is determined by bombardment of the element in the vapor phase by electrons

ionization energy is also measured in eV / 1eV=96.5kJ/mol(one in book)

first ionization energy is the energy needed to remove the most loosely held electron in a atom

ionization energies increase across rows or periods

ionization energies decrease down columns or groups

metals have low ionization energies/nonmetals have high

theories came from experimental evidence on this

the decrease in the force of attraction between outer electrons and the nucleus is due to the presence of other electrons between them and is called the shielding effect

the ease with which an electron can be removed from an atom is related to the type of bond the atom is likely to form with another atom(easy= ionic hard=covalent)
BACK TO THE TOP

10-5 Multiple ionization energies

ionization energy increases with the removal of each additional electron/this shows shells in the atom BACK TO THE TOP

10-6 Electron affinities

electron affinity is the attraction of an atom for an additional electron

metals have low electron affinity/non metals have high

atoms with filled or 1/2filled sublevels tend to have lower electron affinities than neighboring atoms in a period. BACK TO THE TOP
