Periodic Trends • OBJECTIVES: • Interpret periodic trends in atomic radii, ionic radii, ionization energies, and electronegativities.
Trends in Atomic Size • First problem: Where do you start measuring from? • The electron cloud doesn’t have a definite edge. • We get around this by measuring more than 1 atom at a time.
Atomic Size • Atomic Radius = half the distance between two nuclei of a diatomic molecule. Diatomic means “two atoms” or a two atom molecule } Radius
Trends in Atomic Size • Influenced by three factors: 1. Energy Level • Higher energy level is further away. 2. Charge on Nucleus • More charge pulls electrons in closer. • 3. Shielding Effect Electrons between nucleus and valance electrons
Group Trends H • As we go down a group... • each atom adds another energy level, • so the atoms get bigger. Li Na K Rb
Periodic Trends • As you go across a period, the radius gets smaller. • Electrons are in same energy level. • More nuclear charge. • Outermost electrons are closer. Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar
Rb Overall K Na Li Atomic Radius (nm) Kr Ar Ne H Atomic Number 10
Ion Formation An atom can easily lose or gain electrons. The resulting ion is an atom that has an imbalance of charge or carries either a positive charge (a loss of electrons) or a negative charge (a gain of electrons). A positive ion is called a cation. A negative ion is called an anion.
Trends in Ionization Energy • The amount of energy required to completely remove an electron from a gaseous atom. • Removing one electron makes a 1+ ion. • The energy required to remove the first electron is called the first ionization energy.
Ionization Energy • The second ionization energy is the energy required to remove the second electron. • Always greater than first IE. • The third IE is the energy required to remove a third electron. • Greater than 1st or 2nd IE.
Ionization Energy How many valance electrons does Magnesium have? How many is it willing to give up?
Third ionization Energy Mg3+ 1s22s22p5
What Determines IE • The greater the nuclear charge, the greater IE. • Greater distance from nucleus decreases IE • Filled and half-filled sublevel have lower energy, so achieving them is easier, lower IE. • Shielding effect on valence electrons
Group Trends • As you go down a group, first IE decreases because... • the valence electron is further away • and there is more shielding.
Periodic Trends • As you go across a period, • All the atoms in the same period have the same highest energy level. • They have similar shielding. • But, increasing nuclear charge reduces atomic radius (bringing valence closer) • so IE generally increases from left to right. • Exceptions are at full and 1/2 full sublevels.
He • He has a greater IE than H. • same shielding • greater nuclear charge H First Ionization energy Atomic number
He • Li has lower IE than H • more shielding • further away • outweighs greater nuclear charge H First Ionization energy Li Atomic number

Driving Force • Full Energy Levels require lots of energy to remove their electrons. • Noble Gases have full energy level. • Atoms behave in ways to achieve noble gas configuration.
Trends in Ionic Size • Cations form by losing electrons. • Cations are smaller than the atom they come from. • Metals form cations. • Cations of representative elements have noble gas configuration. Na Na+1
Ionic Size • Anions form by gaining electrons. • Anions are bigger than the atom they come from. • Nonmetals form anions. • Anions of representative elements have noble gas configuration. Cl Cl-1
Ion Group Trends • Adding energy level • Ions get bigger as you go down. Li1+ Na1+ K1+ Rb1+ Cs1+
Ion Periodic Trends • Across the period, nuclear charge increases so they get smaller. • Energy level changes between anions and cations. N3- O2- F1- B3+ Li1+ C4+ Be2+
Size of Isoelectronic Ions • Iso- means the same • Iso electronic ions have the same # of electrons • Al3+ Mg2+ Na1+ Ne F1- O2- and N3- • all have 10 electrons • all have the configuration: 1s22s22p6
Size of Isoelectronic Ions • Positive ions that have more protons would be smaller. N3- O2- F1- Ne Na1+ Al3+ Mg2+
Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself. Concept proposed by Linus Pauling 1901-1994
Electronegativity • The tendency for an atom to attract electrons to itself when it is chemically combined with another element. • How fair is the sharing? • Large electronegativity means the atom pulls the electrons toward it. • Atoms with large electron affinity have larger electronegativity.
