The Modern Periodic Table
Atomic size



Atoms do not have a well defined size.
As the distance from the nucleus increases, it
becomes less probable that an electron will
be found there.
Examine a molecule of A2

the distance between one nucleus and the other
is d, then the radius of an A atom is ½d
An “Atomic Size” Calculation
Atomic radii



The C-C bond in diamond is 1.54Å, so we
assign 0.77Å as the radius of the carbon
atom.
The bond in Cl2 is 1.99Å long, so we give the
Cl atom a radius of 0.99Å.
We predict that the C-Cl bond should be 0.77
+ 0.99 = 1.76Å long. Experimental result is
1.77Å.
Atomic Radii and Periodic Table

As you descend a group, the atoms get
larger.


This seems to be intuitive - the atoms lower in a
group have more electrons and these fill higher
shells.
As you cross a row, radius decreases.

The electrons are in the same shell but the
nuclear charge increases as you cross a group electrons attracted to centre.

Ionization energy

The first ionization energy I1, is the energy
required to remove one electron from the
neutral atom.


Example Na (g)  Na+ (g) + e-
The second ionization energy I2, is the
energy required to remove the second
electron.

Example Na+(g)  Na2+ (g) + e-
IE (Cont’d)


The greater the value of I, the more difficult it
is to remove an electron
The first electron is more readily removed
than the second, etc. I1 < I2 < I 3 < I4
Na [Ne]3s1
Mg [Ne]3s2
Al [Ne]3s23p1
Si [Ne]3s23p2
P [Ne]3s23p3
S [Ne]3s23p4
Cl [Ne]3s23p5
Ar [Ne]3s23p6 = [Ar]
1) More difficult to remove electron from smaller atom
2) I1 < I2 < I 3 < I4 First electron easiest to remove
3) Inner-shell electrons “impossible” to remove
Electron Affinity



Ionization energy measures the energy change
associated with the removal of an electron.
Cl (g)  Cl+(g) + e- E = 1251 kJ/mol
Positive value means energy must be added to atom to
remove electron
Electron Affinity measures the energy change related to
the addition of an electron
Cl (g) + e-  Cl-(g) E = -349 kJ/mol
Electron Affinity (cont)





The Cl- ion is more stable than the Cl atom
Cl configuration [Ne]3s23p5
Cl- configuration [Ne]3s23p6
The ion has the same electron configuration
as Ar - a closed shell
The Cl- ion is readily formed
Electron Affinity Values
Metals, Non-metals & Metalloids



Elements which ionize (lose electrons) readily
are metals: Sodium, Iron, Lead
Elements which readily gain electrons are
non-metals: Chlorine, Sulphur, Argon
Separating them are the metalloids: Boron,
Silicon, Arsenic
Metals v Non-metals


Shiny luster, often silvery
No luster, many colours
Solids are malleable (can be shaped with hammer)
and ductile (can be drawn into wires)
Solids often brittle; some are hard, some soft
Metals vs. Nonmetals (Round 2)



Good conductors of heat and electricity
Poor conductors (graphite is an exception)
Most metal oxides are basic
Most non-metallic oxides are acidic
Tend to form cations (+ve charge) in solution
Tend to form anions or oxyanions in solutions
Metals



All but Hg are solids are 25ºC. (What is the other liquid
element?)
Low ionization energies; form positive ions
Oxides are basic
CaO(s) + H2O(l)  Ca(OH)2 (aq)
Metal oxide + acid  salt + water
MgO(s) + 2HCl(aq)  MgCl2(aq) + H2O(l)
Non-metals


Vary greatly in appearance.
Seven exist as diatomic atoms.

F2 (yellowish gas)
Cl2 (green gas)
Br2 (red liquid)
I2 (purple volatile solid)
Diamond (C) is hard, sulphur is soft.
Nonmetals (Round 2)


Tend to gain electrons to form anions
Oxides are acidic
non-metal oxide + water  acid
CO2 + H2O  H2CO3 (aq)
non-metal oxide + acid  salt + water
SO3 + 2KOH  K2SO4 (aq) + H2O(l)
Aluminum
Al2O3  amphoteric oxide
(can act as either an acid or a base).
Al2O3(s) + 6 HCl (aq)  2 AlCl3 (aq) + 3 H2O (l) (basic)
Al2O3 (s) + 2 NaOH (aq) + 3 H2O (l)  2 NaAl(OH)4
(acidic oxide)
Metalloids


Generally hard, non-malleable solids
In pure state they are non-conductors but
with controlled impurities they form semiconductors

Computer chips are made of Si
Allotropy



Carbon can exist as carbon black (soot),
graphite, buckyballs, or diamond.
These are called allotropes - same element,
different physical appearances.
Carbon is said to exhibit allotropy
Allotropy (Cont’d)


Tin is a metal at 25ºC. Below 13ºC it can turn
into a white, non-metallic powder.
At extremely high pressures, there is a
metallic form of hydrogen.
