Electron Configuration for Ions • K • P • Al • Se • K+1 • P-3 • Al+3 • Se-2
Periodic Table Trends • An element’s position & its properties are a result of its electrons • The outermost electrons, aka valence electrons, have the greatest influence on the properties of the elements. • Adding an electron to an inner core orbital results in less striking changes in properties than adding an electron to an outer valence orbital (higher energy). • Shielding Effect: electrons in the lower energy levels (inner core electrons), shield electrons in the outer levels from the full effect of the nuclear charge.
Trends in the Periodic Table • Atomic Radius • The distance from the center of the nucleus to the outermost electron. • Atoms get larger going down a group and smaller going across a period. Ex) Na is larger than Mg Na is smaller than K Ga vs. Al
Reasons for trends in Atomic Radius • Atoms get larger going down a group because each period adds an additional energy level and its more challenging for the nucleus to pull the electrons in closer. (shielding effect) • Going across a period, atoms become smaller because the nucleus has a greater pull on the electrons. Note: Atomic volume follows the same trends as atomic radius.
Positive Ion Size • When atoms lose electrons, they become (positive) and get smaller. • The sizes of cations increases down a group. • The sizes of cations decreases across a period.
Negative Ionic Size • When atoms gain electrons, they become (negative) and get larger. • The sizes of anions increases down a group. • The sizes of anions decreases across a period.
Relative Sizes of Positive & Negative Ions The sodium ion lost an electron, and therefore the positive protons in the nucleus exert a stronger pull on the remaining negative electrons, shrinking the orbitals. Thus positive ions are smaller than their atoms. The chloride ion gained an electron, and therefore the fewer positive protons in the nucleus exert a weaker pull on the extra negative electrons, increasing the size of the orbitals. Thus negative ions are larger than their atoms.
Within an isoelectronic series, radii decrease with increasing atomic number because of increasing nuclear charge. N-3 O-2 F-1 Na+1 Mg+2 Al+3 How many electrons? Nuclear charge? > > > > >
Ionic Radius • Cations & anions decrease in size going across a period • Cations & anions increase in size going down a group
Ionization Energy (IE): • The energy needed to removeone electron from an atom. (kJ/mole) • IE measures how tightly electrons are bound to an atom. • Elements that do not want to lose their electrons have highionization energies. • Elements that easily lose electrons have low ionization energies. X + energy X+1 + 1 e-
1st Ionization Energy • I.E. decreasesdown a group. • I.E. increases across a period -Note: There will be dips in IE across a period when a sublevel is filled or half-filled. • Metals tend to have low IE1. • Nonmetals tend to have high IE1.
Successive Ionization Energies: • Energy required to remove electrons beyond the 1st electron. • Ionization energies will increase for every electron removed. X + IE1 X+1 + 1 e- X+1 + IE2 X+2 + 1 e- X+2 + IE3 X+3 + 1 e-
Successive Ionization Energies: • Electron Configuration • Na: [Ne] 3s1 • Mg: [Ne] 3s2 • Al: [Ne] 3s23p1

Electronegativity (EN) • Reflects an atoms ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond. • Up to 4.0 for F • Zero for He, Ne, Ar and Kr • Metals have low EN. • Nonmetals have high EN. • EN decreases down a group. • EN increases across a period.
Electron Affinity (EA) • Energy change that occurs when a neutral gaseous atom gains an electron. Units kJ/mol. 1 e- + X X-1 + EA • Most elements have no affinity for an additional electron and have an EA equal to zero. He(g) + e- He- EA = 0 kJ/mol He will not add an electron Cl(g) + e- Cl- + 349 kJ/mol EA = -349 kJ/mol Exothermic!!!
Electron Affinity (EA) • Metals have low EA. • Nonmetals have high EA. • EA decreases down a group. • EA increases (becomes more negative) across a period. • EXCLUDES noble gases • Exceptions: Groups 2 (~0) and 15 (~0 for N and smaller for P to Bi) • Why? Filled s and half filled p

Introduction to Chemical Bonding • A chemical bond is an attractive force that holds atoms together in elements or compounds (to function as a unit) • intramolecular (within) vs. intermolecular (between) • Bond energy is the energy needed to break or form 1 mole of bonds in a gaseous substance (kJ/mol) • Bonding usually involves only the valence electrons. • In most compounds of the representative elements, the atoms have an electron configuration that is isoelectronic or psuedoisoelectronic with a noble gas • The manner in which atoms are bound together in a given substance has a profound effect on its chemical and physical properties.
Octet Rule • Many chemical compounds form such that each atom, by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons, has an octet of electrons in its highest occupied energy level. • Very stable • There are exceptions: H, He, B (BF3) • System achieves the lowest possible energy.
Types of Chemical Bonds: Metallic Bonds Ionic Bonds Covalent Bonds
Metallic Bonds • Simplest crystalline solid – arranged in a very compact and orderly pattern • Sea of electrons – the valence electrons are mobile around metal cations • Electrons are delocalized • Attraction of the metal atoms and the surrounding sea of electrons
Metallic Bonds • Explains metallic properties: • High electrical and thermal conductivity (flow of electrons) • Luster (metals absorb wide range of - excites e- and fall back emitting E in form of light results in shiny appearance) • Ductility & malleability (mobility of e-, metallic bonding is same in all directions throughout solid) • Metallic bonding visual on Holt
Metallic properties due to sea of electrons Ionic compounds are hard but brittle – repulsions result from shift and causes crystal to break Metals vs. Ionic Crystals
Ionic bonding • Chemical bonding that results from an electrostatic attraction between cations and anions to form a neutral compound. • “salts” • Octet Rule • Atoms will transfer electrons (e-) to each other in order to have a full set of valence electrons. • When electrons are transferred, ionic bonds are formed.
Covalent Bonding • Sharing one or more electron pairs between 2 atoms
Characteristics of Ionic Compounds(hundreds of compounds) • All are high melting solids (>400°C). • Orderly 3D arrangements (pattern) called crystalline solid or crystal lattice. • Simplest arrangement = formula unit • High mp reflects strong bonds – large attractive forces are very stable • Many are white. • Colored compounds usually contain the transition elements (Cu, Cr, Co, Ni, Mn)
Characteristics of Ionic Compounds: • Solubility • Many are soluble in polar solvents, such as water (aka aqueous solutions) • Most are insoluble in nonpolar solvents, such as hexane (C6H14) Dissolving Salt Animation
Characteristics of Ionic Compounds: • Conductivity • Solids are non conductive – ions cannot move freely • Molten compounds are conductive – ions move freely (NaCl mp ~800°C) • Aqueous solutions are conductive – ions free to move in solution
Formation of Ionic Compounds • Formation results from a transfer of electrons and the electrostatic attractions of the closely packed, oppositely charged ions. • Ionic substances are formed when an atom that loses electrons relatively easily reacts with an atoms that has a high affinity for electrons. • Forms between a metal and a nonmetal. (large EN difference) • Metal: low IE, EN, EA • Nonmetal: high IE, EN, EA • Metal is oxidized (loss of e-) and nonmetal is reduced (gain of e-) • The ion pair has lower energy than separated ions.

Characteristics of Covalent Compounds(~11 million compounds) • They are gases, liquids, or solids with low melting points (<300°C) • Usually the simplest arrangement is called a molecule (many sizes and shapes)
Characteristics of Covalent Compounds • Solubility • Many are insoluble in polar solvents • Many are soluble in nonpolar solvents • Conductivity • Liquid and molten compounds are nonconductors • Aqueous solutions are usually nonconductors or poor conductors
Formation • Formation due to sharing electrons • Often forms between nonmetals • metalloid and nonmetals • small electronegativity differences
Formation • Number of covalent bonds likely to form for nonmetals or metalloids depends upon the number unpaired electrons • Electron configurations Cl2: 1s22s22p63s23p23p23p1 1s22s22p63s23p23p23p1 1 bond: share 1 pair of e- = single bond
Electronegativity Trends and Bond Type • If electronegativity difference is • Less than .4 = Nonpolar covalent • Between .4 and 1.9 = Polar Covalent • Can be described a slightly polar (.5 – 1.0) or moderately polar (1.0 -1.9) • Greater than 1.9 = Ionic • Can be described as extremely polar
