Periodic Table Trends
Atomic Radii • Increases from top to bottom because atom is getting larger. • Decreases from left to right because electron affinity increases.
Electron affinity • Defines how strongly atoms of an element want more electrons. • Elements in group VII want them most.
Ionization energy • Energy needed to remove electrons. • It makes sense that more energy is needed to remove electrons from atoms that want to gain them (like group VII)
Metallic character • A metal is a good conductor of both electricity and heat. • A metal forms cations and ionic bonds with nonmetals • A cation has a net positive charge (more protons than electrons). • An anion has a net negative charge (more electrons than protons). • Cations and anions attract and form ionic bonds.
Periodic law • Elements are arranged by increasing number of protons (atomic number) • Mendeleev arranged by mass • Neutrons also contribute to mass
Rows and columns • Each row is called a period because chemical properties repeat (are periodic) • Each column is called a group because all members of the same group have similar electron configurations and therefore similar chemical properties. • Configuration = arrangement (vocab)
Orbitals • s=2, p=6, d=10, and f=14 • Arrange as follows: 1s 2s, 2p 3s, 3p, 3d 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f 5s, 5p, 5d, 5f 6s, 6p, 6d
Practice with: • C • S • Mg • H • Ar • Ir
Valence electrons • Electrons in the highest occupied energy level. • Number increases from left to right • Practice electron dot diagrams: • N • Cl • Na • Ca • Al
Atom stability • Stable when highest energy level is full. • Noble gasses are stable. • Groups I-III want to lose e- and form cations. • Groups V-VII want to gain e- and form anions.
Ionic bonding • Cations and anions combine to form compounds. • They are held together by ionic bonds. • Ex: Mg2+ and Cl- = MgCl2 • Ex: Na+ and O2- = Na2O • Ex: Al3+ and S2- = Al2S3
Covalent bonding • Electrons are shared • Usually happens between two nonmetals • Ex: O and F = OF2 • Ex: C and O = CO2 • Ex: C and Cl = CCl4 • Ex: C and N = CN- ???
Multiple bonds • Double bond = 4 electrons shared • Triple bond = 6 electrons shared • Remember: in order to be stable all 8 valence electron positions need to be taken.
