Electronic Configuration of the Elements • www.nutrisci.wisc.edu/NS623/electronic.pdf • What determines how electrons are distributed? • Pauli Exclusion Principle • Hund’s Rule • Good web site: http://www.science.uwaterloo.ca/~cchieh/cact/c120/eleconfg.html
Information on Transition Elementsor Why do we care? • http://library.thinkquest.org/3659/pertable/trametal.html
Oxidation of Iron • Fe +2 Fe +3 • Ferrous Ferric • Reduced Oxidized • Reduction is the gain of electrons • Oxidation is the loss of electrons
Bonding in minerals • Ionic • Covalent • Metallic • Van der Waals • Polar
Ionic Bonding • NaCl (halite or rock salt) • Na+ and Cl- have noble gas configuration • Electrostatic attraction bonds them together • Minerals with ionic bonds have moderate H and G, have high melting points and are poor conductors of electricity and heat • Strength is proportional to the electronic attraction • Bond is non-directional
Covalent • Sharing of electrons • Strongest of chemical bonds • Do not yield ions in solution • Bonds are directional • Example: diamond C
Si-O bond • Is about 50% covalent and 50% ionic • Electronegativity—power of an atom to attract. Compounds made of elements with very different values of electronegativity are more ionic than compounds made of elemts clost to each other in electronegativity
Metallic Bond • Many electrons owe no allegiance to any particular nucleus and are free to “drift” • Good conductors • Usually low hardness and melting points • Examples include native metals such as Cu, Ag, and Au • Minerals may have qualities of several types of bonds: galena ionic and metallic
Van der Waals • Dipoles of molecules • Usually found in gases and liquids, rare in minerals • Example is graphite C
Polar Bonding or Hydrogen Bonding Examples include micas
Coordination Number C.N. • # of anions that can fit around a cation • NaCl 6 • CaF2 8
Radius Ratio • This is the ratio of the radius of the cation to that of the anion • This ratio usually determines the CN of the cation
Coordination Number vs Radius Ratio Make sure you remember to give examples on the board
Let’s calculate one of the radius ratios • Use triangular coordination • Handout or on board!
Some words you need to know • CN=4 tetrahedral • CN=6 octahedral • CN=8 cubic
