PROBLEM: Using the periodic table, rank each set of main group elements in order of decreasing atomic size: Ranking Elements by Atomic Size (a) Ca, Mg, Sr (b) K, Ga, Ca (c) Br, Rb, Kr (d) Sr, Ca, Rb Elements in the same group increase in size and you go down; elements decrease in size as you go across a period. SOLUTION: (a) Sr > Ca > Mg These elements are in Group 2A(2). (b) K > Ca > Ga These elements are in Period 4. (c) Rb > Br > Kr Rb has a higher energy level and is far to the left. Br is to the left of Kr. (d) Rb > Sr > Ca Ca is one energy level smaller than Rb and Sr. Rb is to the left of Sr. Barbara A. Gage PGCC CHM 1010

PROBLEM: Using the periodic table only, rank the elements in each of the following sets in order of decreasing IE1: Ranking Elements by First Ionization Energy (a) Kr, He, Ar (b) Sb, Te, Sn (c) K, Ca, Rb (d) I, Xe, Cs IE decreases as you proceed down in a group; IE increases as you go across a period. SOLUTION: (a) He > Ar > Kr Group 8A(18) - IE decreases down a group. (b) Te > Sb > Sn Period 5 elements - IE increases across a period. (c) Ca > K > Rb Ca is to the right of K; Rb is below K. (d) Xe > I > Cs I is to the left of Xe; Cs is furtther to the left and down one period. Barbara A. Gage PGCC CHM 1010

PROBLEM: Rank each set of ions in order of decreasing size, and explain your ranking: Ranking Ions by Size (a) Ca2+, Sr2+, Mg2+ (b) K+, S2-, Cl - (c) Au+, Au3+ Compare positions in the periodic table, formation of positive and negative ions and changes in size due to gain or loss of electrons. SOLUTION: (a) Sr2+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ These are members of the same Group (2A/2) and therefore decrease in size going up the group. The ions are isoelectronic; S2- has the smallest Zeff and therefore is the largest while K+ is a cation with a large Zeff and is the smallest. (b) S2- > Cl - > K+ (c) Au+ > Au3+ The higher the + charge, the smaller the ion. Barbara A. Gage PGCC CHM 1010
