Allotropes Some elements exist in more than one structural form. This property is called ALLOTROPY Consider carbon – 2 common allotropes are graphite and diamond. Both consist only of atoms of carbon, C, but their structures are very different, and hence their properties differ This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License

The Octet Rule Because filled orbitals give the best STABILITY, all elements try to attain a noble gas configuration (i.e. 8 electrons in their valence shell) 2 ways of doing this: (i) losing electrons; or (ii) gaining electrons (which ever uses the least energy) This is the driving force behind the chemistry of the elements and is called theOCTET RULE This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License

Cations • Cations are formed when an atom loses 1 or more valence electron: Na Na++ e- Mg Mg2++ 2e- • The loss of electrons is known as OXIDATION and is a typical reaction of metals This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License

Group 1 & 2 elements (metals) Group 1Group 2 Group 1 = [NG]ns1 Group 2 = [NG]ns2 Elements in these groups want toLOSEtheir outer (valence) electrons to gain the noble gas configuration[NG]: Na Na++ e- Mg Mg2++ 2e- Electronic configuration of both cations = [Ne] The energy required to remove a valence electron is called theIONISATION ENERGY This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License
Anions • Anions are formed when an atom gains 1 or more valence electron: F + e- F- O + 2e- O2- • The gain of electrons is known as REDUCTION and is a typical reaction of non-metals This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License

In 1913 Soddy proposed the existence ofISOTOPES Definition: Atoms of the same elements with different atomic masses Definition Frederick Soddy Nobel Prize (Chemistry) 1921 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License
Definition Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons Eg. 63 Mass number (A) Protons (Z) = 29 Neutrons (N) = 34 Cu 29 Atomic number (Z) 65 Protons (Z) = 29 Neutrons (N) = 36 Cu 29 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License

Atomic Mass, A • For simplicity, atomic masses are given relative to the mass of 12C • 12C = 12.0000 amu • amu = atomic mass unit = 1.660x 10-27kg similar to the mass of a proton or neutron (see Lecture 1) Mass number (A) is used as the atomic mass This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License
Relative Atomic Mass, Ar Atomic mass Mg 24 78.7 Mg 25 10.1 Mg 26 11.2 % abundance The relative atomic mass of an element is the weighted mean of the atomic masses of all the stable isotopes for that element. For example: Ar (Mg) = 24.3 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License
