Regularities in chemical properties
The periodic table
Connection to quantum mechanics
Chemical bonds:
– Ionic
– Covalent
• Molecules in space
The Story of Stuff: So Far
• The Big Bang made hydrogen and
helium.
• Stars made heavy elements and
dispersed them through supernova
explosions.
• Gas clouds are filled with many different
elements.
General Principle:
• At low temperatures, particles tend to
prefer more binding energy and more
bound particles
• At high temperatures, particles tend to
prefer more spatial freedom and more
unbound particles.
• In cold interstellar clouds, particles
agglomerate into atoms and molecules.
The Atom in Physics and Chemistry
• Physics: electrons bound to a nucleus
• Chemistry: smallest chemical unit
Chemical Evidence for Atom
• Compounds combine with small, whole
number ratios of elements
• These ratios represent the number of
atoms that combine in each molecule of
a compound: for example
2 H2 + O2  2 H2O
• Atom: smallest unit to share in
chemistry
Crystals: Atoms packed together
• Atoms combine in particular geometrical
shapes
Water
Salt
• Reflects the geometry of how individual
atoms combine
Crystals
The Chemical Atom
• Combines in specific ratios
• Combines with particular
geometric configurations
The Periodic Table
• Elements are arranged in columns
according to chemical properties; rows
according to atomic mass.
• Successes
– Organized elements in rational scheme
– Predicted existence of new elements
• Shortcoming
– Empirical (how, not why)
Periodic Table
Evidence for the Physics Atom before
Quantum Mechanics
• Brownian motion---jiggles of small
particles in a liquid can be explained by
collisions with large numbers of atoms
• Gas laws---relations between density,
temperature, and pressure---can be
explained by colliding atoms (or
molecules)
Physics vs. Chemistry
How can physics account for
the chemical properties of
atoms?

physics and chemistry atom

Application of Schrödinger Equation
to Atom
• Predicts wave function for electron
orbiting nucleus (electric force)
• Standing waves occur only for particular
energies
Orbitals
Standing waves of probability
The chance of finding an electron is
given by the square of the wave
function at a certain location

How it all works
• Orbitals have different energies
• Orbitals have specific shapes
• Electrons in a system settle into the
lowest energy states available
• Pauli Exclusion Principle
Pauli Exclusion Principle
No two electrons can have the
same quantum state.
Quantum state: a solution of the
Schrödinger equation, which can be
identified by its set of labels called
“quantum numbers.”
Quantum numbers represent
(for electrons)
l : Angular momentum = l x ħ (orbital motion)
l = 0,1,2,3, …
ml : Alignment of l along z-axis = ml x ħ
ml = 0,+1,+2,+3,…. |ml| < l
s : Intrinsic angular momentum (“Spin”) = s x ħ
s=½
ms : Alignment of s along z-axis = ms x ħ
ms = +½, -½

along the z-axis, ml,

Open and Closed Shells
• When all of the orbitals for a particular
n (called a “shell”) are full, the shell is
closed.
• When the shell has empty slots, it is
open.
• Only electrons in open shells participate
in chemistry.
• Atoms with closed shells are chemically
inert.

• All atoms with the same number of
electrons in open shells have similar

Chemical Bonds
• Atoms tend to minimize their energy by
obtaining a closed-shell configuration
• Two possibilities
– Lose or gain electrons (ion=charged atom)
“Ionic bond”
– Share electrons with other atoms
“Covalent bond”
Chemical Bonds: Ionic
• Ions --- atoms that have gained or lost
electrons beyond their neutral state
• Positive ions’ charge balances negative
ions
• Shape of crystal results from packing
together ions of different sizes
Sizes of Ions
Example: Salt = Sodium Chloride
How do sodium and chlorine
most easily obtain a closed-shell
structure?

How does atom attain a closed shell?
• Sodium has one extra electron, so it
loses one.
• Chlorine needs one extra electron, so it
gains one.
Example: Sodium Chloride

Sodium: loses

Chlorine: gains
electron
Structure of Sodium Chloride
• Ions pack together
as closely as
possible.
• Forms cubic
structure
Cubic crystal results from atomic structure
Other crystal structures
Depends on sizes of ions
Crystal forms
Which atoms form ionic bonds?
• Elements in first (second) column have one
(two) loosely bound electron(s).
• These atoms lose electrons and form positive
ions.
• Elements in last (next to last) column require
one (two) electron(s) to complete a closed
shell
• These atoms lose electrons and form negative
ions.

one atom overlaps that of an electron
from a different atom
Bonding orbital
Constructive
Interference

-
+
Negative charge screens one nucleus
from the other, and attracts nucleus

Destructive
Interference
+
+
Negative charge screen is absent,
nuclei “see” each other, repel each
other, attracted to negative charge
opposite the nucleus
