RELATIVE ELECTRONEGATIVITIESUp and to the right: electronegativity increases.(same trend for ionization energy & electron affinity)RELATIVE SIZESDown and to the left: size increases. Smallest size Highest EN IE EA Largest size Lowest EN IE EA
Metallic Character Most elements in the periodic table are metals - metals lose electrons - good thermal and electrical conductors - malleable and lustrous - non-metals gain electrons - gas, liquid, or brittle solid - poor conductors increasing metallic character
OXIDATION STATES • Atoms tend to lose or gain electrons to achieve an inert gas configuration. • Elements to the right (e.g., O, F) are electronegative • gain electrons to become negatively charged (anions). • Elements to the left (e.g., Cs, Sr, Al) are electropositive • lose electrons to become positively charged (cations). • NaCl Na+Cl • MgO Mg2+O2 • For main group (s- and p-block) elements: • The highest possible positive oxidation state is equal to the Group Number
AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS • Metals lose electrons to form cations in aqueous solutions (e.g, Ba2+) • Non-metals gain electrons when forming anions in solution (e.g., Br-). • Non-metals can also lose electrons to more electronegative elements, as in oxyanions: • e.g., in SO42-, oxidation states are S6+, O2-
OXIDES • Metal Oxides and Hydroxides are basic • more soluble in acidic solutions. • More electropositive central atom gives off electrons (Na+ OH-) • Non-Metal Oxides and Hydroxides are acidic • more soluble in basic solutions. • More electronegative central atom attracts electrons (HNO3 NO3- + H+) • Metalloid Oxides and Hydroxides are amphoteric • More soluble in both acidic and basic solutions compared to pure water.
2nd row (Li,Be…F) vs. 3rd, 4th, 5th rows • Period II: • Small atoms • The only valence orbitals are 2s and 2p • No 2d orbitals • Maximum number of bonds = 4. • CF4, NH3. • Small size a greater tendency to form bonds because there is better sideways overlap of p-orbitals. • Period III: • Bigger size. • Valence orbitals: 3s, 3p, and 3d. • Maximum number of bonds > 4. • SiF4, SiF62-, PCl3, and PCl5. • Bigger size less tendency to form bonds because there is less overlap of p-orbitals.

Hydrogen Isotopes 1H protium most abundant isotope, nucleus consists of a single proton2H deuterium one neutron and often given the symbol “D”. forms the hydrogen component of heavy water (D2O). 3H tritium radioactive isotope: half-life of 12.3 y, not found in nature.Isotope effectsDeuterium and hydrogen exhibit isotopic differences in their reaction rates and properties. E.g., boiling points of heavy water and conventional water are slightly different allowing them to be separated by fractional distillation.

ALKALINE EARTHS Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba compounds are ionic; hydroxides are basic. Metals are obtained by high temperature electrolysis of their molten chlorides. Mg metal is made in three steps from sea water: 1) Add base to sea water: Mg2+ + 2OH- Mg(OH)2(s) 2) Dissolve in HCl: Mg(OH)2(s) + 2HCl MgCl2(aq) + 2H2O 3) Electrolysis: MgCl2(l) Mg(l) + Cl2(g) Principal Uses of Mg: Light structural alloys (lighter than Al or Fe, but strong). Light alloys with Zn, Al, or Mn for aircraft wheels, space vehicles, portable tools, and cameras

CaSO4. (H2O)2 (Gypsum) is used to make cement and plaster wallboard. 2 CaSO4. (H2O)2 + Heat 3H2O + (CaSO4)2. (H2O) (Plaster of Paris) Reverse reaction by adding water. BARIUM Barium is very dense. BaSO4 is a dense, very insoluble material used as an additive to concrete in nuclear reactors. This makes the walls more dense. This also makes the walls absorb neutrons. BaSO4 also absorbs X-rays - used by radiologists for stomach X-rays. CALCIUM (cont’d)
