Catalyst 1. 2. 3. What are the trends for atomic radii? Why do these trends exist? 4.
Today’s Learning Targets • 1.9 – I can define and calculate the effective nuclear charge for an atom and explain how this impacts observed periodic trends. • 1.10 – I can define atomic/ionic radius and explain how it relates to the effective nuclear charge. Furthermore, I can explain how this trend changes as you move throughout the Periodic Table and relate it to the elements quantum electron configuration.
Coulomb’s Law • The force felt by two charged objects is directly related to the size of the charge and inversely related to the distance between the charges. • The force on the electron increases as the nuclear charge increases • The force on the electron decreases as the nuclear charge decreases
Effective Nuclear Charge • Periodic trends depend on how well electrons “feel” the nucleus • The effective nuclear charge (Zef) is the force felt between the nucleus and the electron of interest
Electron Shielding • In elements with many electrons, inner electrons shield the valence electrons. • This occurs because the core electrons act to shield the valence electrons from the full positive charge of the nucleus.
Predict the Trend • Do you think the Zef increases or decreases as we go down a group the Periodic Table? • What about as we go across a period? • Justify your answer with evidence and the idea of electron shielding.
Trends in Zef • The further away from the nucleus, the less the nuclear charge is “felt”,so Zef decreases down a group. • As you continue across a period, there are no more core electrons, but there is a stronger positive charge • Therefore, as you go across a period Zef increases.
Zef increases Zef decreases
Quick Write • What is the trend for atomic radii as you go throughout the Periodic Table? Justify your response
Trends for Atomic Radii • Atomic radii increase down a group and decrease across a period. • They increase down a group because more orbitals are being added, making the element “bulkier” • The decrease across a period because Zef is increasing, thus causing the electron to be more attracted to the nucleus.
Radii of Cations • Removing electrons causes the radius to decrease • Removing electrons causes orbitals to be removed and electron-electron repulsions to decrease • Both of these lead to an increase in Zef and a decrease in the ionic radius
Radii of Anions • Adding electrons causes the radius to increase • Adding electrons causes an increase in electron – electron repulsions, so Zef decreases. • A decrease is Zef causes the radius to be larger
Class Example • Arrange Na+, K+, and K in order of increasing atomic radius
Table Talk • Arrange the ions K+, Cl-, Ca2+, and S2- in order of decreasing size.
Table Talk • Arrange the following atoms from smallest to largest: Rb+, Sr2+, Y3+
Pick a Side • I am going to project up numerous statements • You must decide whether you agree or disagree. • Be prepared to defend your response!
Pick a Side Questions • Coulombs Law says that as you pull charges away from one another, the force increases. • The effective nuclear describes the attraction between the nucleus and the electron of interest. • Effective nuclear charge decreases down a group because there are more electrons. • Effective nuclear charge increases across a period because of the more positive nucleus. • The ionic radius is always larger than the atomic radius for a given atom.
Pick a Side Questions (cont.) 5. Order the following from smallest to largest radius: Se2-, Te2-, Se - Answer: Se, Se2-, Te2 6. Order the following from largest to smallest radius: Co3+, Fe2+, Fe3+ - Answer: Co3+, Fe2+, Fe3+ 7. The effective nuclear charge has littler overall impact on the atomic and ionic radius of an element
