3..., 13... Flashcards
period
- row of elements (horizontal)
- number of shells
group
- column of elements (vertical)
- number of valance electrons
s,d,p,f blocks on periodic table
what do all s-block elements have?
- only s electrons in the outer shell
what do all p-block elements have?
- atleast one p-electron in the outer shell
what do all d-block elements have?
- atleast one d-electron and one s-electron but no f or p electrons in thr outer shell
what do all f-block elements have?
- atleast one f-electron and atleast one s-electron, but no d or p electrons in the outer shell
what is the pattern seen in chemical and physical properties on the periodic table
- physical and chemical properties of elements in the periodic table show clear patterns related to the position of each element in the table
- elements in the same group show similar properties
- properties change gradually as you go across a period
what is atomic radius?
- size of an atom
- ## distance between the nucleus of an atom and the outermost electron shell
atomic radius across a period?
decreases
atomic radius down the group?
increases
ionic radius
- measure of the size of an ion
ionic radius down the group?
increases
ionic radius across a period
- ionic radius increases with increasing negativ charge
- ionic radius decreases with increasing positive charge
first ionisation energy
- ## amount od energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of atoms of an elemts in gaseous state to form one mole of gaseous ions
first ionisation energy across a period?
increases
first ionisation energy down the group
decreases
Why does ionisation energy increases across a period?
- nuclear charge increases
- distance between the nucleus and outer electron remains reasonably constant
- shielding by inner electrons remains the same
- rapid decrease in ionisation energy between the last element in one period and the first element in the next period
- increased distance between the nucleus and outer electrons
- increased shielding by inner electron
- these outweigh nuclear charge
why does ionisation energy decrease down the group?
- distance between the nucleus and outer electron increases
- shielding by inner shell electrons increases
- effective nuclear charge is decreasing as shielding increases
why does successive ionisation energie of an element increases?
- ## removing an electron from a positive ion is more difficult than from a neutral atom
electron affinity
- ## amount of energy released when one mole of electrons is gained by one mole of atoms of an element in the gaseous state to form one mole of gaseous ions
electron affinity down the group?
decreases
electron affinity across a period?
increases
Electronegativity
- ## ability of an atom to attract a pair of electrons towards itself in a covalent bond
electronegativity down the group?
decreases
electronegativit across a period
increases
