Predicting Bond Type • Metallic character of the atoms • Electronegativity
Metallic character of the atoms • Metal + nonmetal Ionic Bond • NaCl – ionic bond • Nonmetal + nonmetal Covalent Bond • CO2 – covalent bond
TRENDS • The Periodic Table can be used to predict trends. • Atomic radii • Metallic character • Ionization energy (electron affinity)
TRENDSAtomic Radii • Increases down a group • Increases from right to left
Trends Atomic radius increases
Example Which has a larger atomic radius, Na or K? Answer: Potassium, K is below sodium, Na in Group IA. Potassium’s atomic radius is larger.
Example Which has a larger atomic radius, Ca or Ni? Answer: Calcium, Ca, is to the left of nickel, Ni in Period 4. Calcium’s atomic radius is larger.
TRENDSMetallic Character • Increases down a group • Increases from right to left
Trends Metallic character increases
Example Which has the most metallic character, Sn or Pb? Answer: Lead, Pb, is below tin, Sn in Group IVA. Lead has more metallic character.
Example Which has the most metallic character, Ag or Sr? Answer: Strontium, Sr, is to the right of silver, Ag, in Period 5. Stronium has a more metallic character.
TRENDSElectronegativity(Electron Affinity) • Increase – bottom to top of Group • Increase – left to right in Period
Trends Electronegativity increases (Electron affinity)
Example Which has a higher ionization energy (electronegativity), Li or Na? Answer: Lithium is above sodium in Group IA. Lithium has a higher ionization energy (electronegativity).
Example Which has a higher ionization energy (electronegativity), N or O? Answer: Oxygen is to the right of nitrogen in Period 2. Oxygen has a higher ionization energy (electronegativity).
