PERIODIC TRENDS CHAPTER 5
ATOMIC RADII • Defined as: • ½ the distance between the nuclei of two identical atoms joined in a molecule • Approximates the size of the electron cloud
ATOMIC RADIUS • Trends: • Across a period: DECREASES • why? Electrons are added to the same energy level and the increased nuclear charge causes the electrons to be bound more effectively, reducing the size of the electron cloud. • Down a group: INCREASES • Why? Electrons are being added to higher energy levels. Electron cloud size increases as n increases.
IONIZATION ENERGY • Defined as: • The energy needed to remove an electron from an atom to form a +1 ion. • Measured in kJ or kJ/mol Ex. Na + IE Na+1 + 1 e- • Ion – an atom with a + or - charge
IONIZATION ENERGY • Trends: • Across a period: INCREASES • Electrons feel more nuclear pull when closer to the nucleus, so they are harder to remove. • Metals lose electrons easily/ non-metals hold electrons more.
IONIZATION ENERGY • Down a group: DECREASES • Why? • e- are farther from the nucleus in higher energy levels, so they do not feel the nuclear charge so they are more easily removed. • Inner electrons shield the nuclear charge.
2nd IONIZATION ENERGY • The 2nd ionization energy is always higher than the first ionization energy • Why? • Na+1 + 2nd IE Na+2 + 1e-1 • More protons are pulling on less electrons, electrons under control are harder to remove.
CHECK POINT • Put the following in order of increasing atomic radius: • Na, Cl, Cs, I • Put the following in order of increasing ionization energy: • Be, He,Ca, Br • Which requires more energy? The first ionization of Fe or the second ionization of Fe? Why?
ELECTRON AFFINITY • Defined as: • The energy released or required when a neutral atom gains an electron. • Ex. Cl + 1e- Cl-1 + energy • Ex. Na + 1e- + energy Na-1
ELECTRON AFFINITY TREND • Trends: • Across a period: INCREASES, becomes more favorable • Why? Smaller atoms with higher nuclear charge will attract e- more effectively, making it easier to add anoter electron. • Exception: noble gases EA = 0
ELECTRON AFFINITY TREND • Down a group: Decreases, becomes less favorable • Why? In larger atoms, the nuclear charge is shielded, so it is more difficult to attract the additional electron. Energy is required to add the electron to the atom. • Metals always have lower EA than non-metals. • Order: metals (+), noble gases (0), non-metals (-) • Ex. Place the following in order of increasing favorability for EA: Si, Cl, Ar, Na
ELECTRONEGATIVITY • Defined as: • A measure of the ability of a bonded atom to attract a pair of electrons. • Pauling Electronegativity scale ranges from 0-4 • Highest electronegativity: Fluorine
ELECTRONEGATIVITY TREND • Trends: • Across a period: Gradually increases • Smaller atoms with increased nuclear charge are better e pair attractors. • Non metals always have a higher e-neg than metals. • Noble gases do not have an e-neg value.
ELECTRONEGATIVITY TREND • Down a group: Decreases • Larger atoms cannot attract e pairs as effectively due to the nuclear charge being shielded by inner electrons. • Ex. Place the following in order of increasing electronegativity: Na,Cl, Ar, S
IONIC RADII • Cations – (+ ions) lost electrons, so a higher p+/e- ratio causes the electrons to be pulled closer, reducing the size of the electron cloud. • Anions- (- ions) gained electrons, so a lower p+/e- ratio means the electrons are under less control and the e- cloud expands. • Trend: • Going down a group: increases as the atomic radius increases
ISOELECTRONIC SPECIES • Elements and ions with the same number of electrons. • Ex. Kr, Br-1, Sr+2, Rb+1 • Ex. Find ions that would be isoelectronicAr and place them in order of increasing ionic/atomic radius
