Section 6.3 Periodic Trends
Objectives • Compare period and group trends of several properties • Relate period and group trends in atomic radii to electron configuration
Atomic Radius • Electron cloud no defined edges • 90% probability of finding an electron • Size varies from substance to substance
Radius: Metals ½ distance between adjacent nuclei in a crystal of the element
Radius: Nonmetals • ½ distance between nuclei of identical atoms that are chemically bonded
Trends within Periods • The decrease from left to right • All in same principal energy level • Increased nuclear charge as you move to the right, which draws electrons closer to the nucleus.
Trends within Groups • Increase from top to bottom • Nuclear charge increases • Electrons are added to higher principal energy levels • Increase number of shells
Periodic Trends: Atomic Radius DECREASES I N C R E A S E S
Ions • Atoms that gain or lose electrons • negative or positive charge
Ionic Radius • + charge = smaller radius • - charge= larger radius
Trends within Periods • L to R: positive ions’ radii decreases • 5A: Size of larger negative ions decreases
Trends within Groups • Ionic radii of both positive and negative ions increase as you move down a group
Ionization Energy • Energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom • Energy required to remove first electron is the first ionization energy • Nuclei’s strength of hold on valence electrons
Ions and Ionization Energy • 1A has low IE form positive ions • 8A has high IE do not form ions
Beyond the 1st IE • 2nd ionization energy = amount of energy needed to remove an electron from a 1+ ion • 3rd IE = to remove e- from a 2+ ion
Trends within Periods • First ionization energies increase L to R • Inc. nuclear charge= inc hold on e-
Trends within groups • First ionization energies decrease from top to bottom • Valence electrons are farther from nucleus
Periodic Trends: Ionization Energy INCREASES D E C R E A S E S
Octet rule • Atoms tend to gain lose or share electrons to acquire a full set of 8 valence electrons • Used to determine type of ion an element is likely to form
Electronegativity • Relative ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond. • Arbitrary units called Paulings
Electronegativity Trends • Increases from L to R • Except Noble Gases • REASON: nuclear charge increases, more attraction to electrons in its outermost energy level • Increases from top to bottom • REASON: electrons are further away from the nucleus and better shielded from the nuclear charge
