Periodic properties of
the elements
Electron Configurations, Atomic Properties, and
Periodic Trends
As we move down the periodic table the electron
configuration becomes longer and more complex.
This goes beyond the purpose of our course.
Electron configurations help to determine the atomic and chemical
properties of the elements. Properties such as atomic radius,
ionization energy, electron affinity and electronegativity
are periodic as they follow recurring trends in the periodic table.

Atomic Radius
can determine it by measuring the distance between the nuclei of bonded,
neighbouring atoms. For example, for metals, atomic radius is half the
distance between neighbouring nuclei in a crystal of the metal element.
For elements that occur as molecules, which is the case for many nonmetals, atomic radius is half the distance between nuclei of identical
atoms that bonded together with a single covalent bond. In Figure 3.23,
the radii of metallic elements represent the radius of an atom in a metallic
crystal. The radii of all other elements represent the radius of an atom of
the element participating in a single covalent bond with one additional,
like atom.
The size of an atom, its atomic radius, decreases across a period. Furthermore, atomic radii
generally increase down a group. Two factors affect differences in atomic radii:

finding electrons farther from their nucleus.
Therefore, the atomic volume is larger.

First Ionization Energy
The energy needed to completely remove one electron from a ground state gaseous atom is called the
ionization energy. Energy must be added to the atom to remove an electron in order to overcome
the force of attraction exerted on the electron by the nucleus.
Since multi-electron atoms have two or more electrons, they also have more than one ionization
energy.
For calcium the first ionization energy (IE1), is 599 kJ/mol:
Ca(g) + 599 kJ → Ca+(g) + eThe second ionization energy (IE2) is the amount of energy required to remove the second electron.
For calcium, it may be represented as:
Ca+(g) + 1145 kJ → Ca2+1(g) + eFor a given element, IE2 is always greater than IE1 because it is always more difficult to remove a
negatively charged electron from a positively charged ion than from the corresponding neutral atom.
Ionization energies measure how strongly electrons are bound to atoms. Ionization always requires energy to
remove an electron from the attractive force of the nucleus.
Low ionization energies indicate easy removal of electrons, and hence easy positive ion (cation) formation.
First Ionization Energy
Every element exhibits a large increase in ionization energy when an inner electron is
removed.

Electron affinity
The first ionization energy of an atom is a measure of the energy change when removing an electron
from the atom to form a cation.
For example, the first ionization energy of Cl(g), 1251 kJ/mol, is the energy change associated
with the process
Cl(g) + 1251 kJ → Cl+(g) + e[Ne]3s23p5
[Ne]3s23p4
The positive ionization energy means that energy must be put into the atom to remove the
electron.
Most atoms can also gain electrons to form anions. The energy change that occurs when an electron is
added to a gaseous atom is called the electron affinity because it measures the attraction, or affinity,
of the atom for the added electron.
For most atoms, energy is released when an electron is added
For example, the addition of an electron to a chlorine atom is accompanied by an energy
change of -349 kJ/mol, the negative sign indicating that energy is released during the process
Cl(g) - 349 kJ → Cl-(g) - e[Ne]3s23p5
[Ne]3s23p6
Therefore the electron affinity of Cl is -349 kJ/mol.
Ionization energy measures the ease with which an atom loses an electron,
whereas electron affinity measures the ease with which an atom gains an electron.
Electron affinity
For the electron affinity the trends through the P.T.E. are not as evident as they are for ionization

•Solids are malleable and ductile
•Good conductors of heat and electricity
•Most metal oxides are ionic solids that are

•Solids are usually brittle; some are hard, some are
soft
•Poor conductors of heat and electricity
•Most nonmetal oxides are molecular substances
that form acidic solutions
•Tend to form anions or oxyanions in aqueous

Metalloids
Metalloids have properties intermediate between those of metals and those of
nonmetals. They may have some characteristic metallic properties but lack others.
E.g. Silicon looks like a metal, but it is brittle rather than malleable and does not conduct heat or
electricity nearly as well as metals do
Several metalloids, e.g. Silicon, are electrical semiconductors and are
the principal components of circuits and computer chips. One of the
reasons is that their electrical conductivity is intermediate between
that of metals and that of nonmetals.
Elemental Si looks metallic but is brittle and
has low thermal
electrical conductivity.
! FIGURE

silicon.
Although it looks metallic, silicon, a
metalloid, is brittle and a poor thermal
and electrical conductor.
Very pure silicon is an electrical insulator, but its conductivity can be dramatically increased with the
addition of specific impurities called dopants. This modification provides a mechanism for controlling the
electrical conductivity by controlling the chemical composition.
