3- Periodic Table, Physical Chemistry Flashcards
What is ionisation energy
The amount of energy required to remove one electron form each atom in one mole of gaseous atoms of an element to form one more of gaseous 1+ ions
Show first ionisation energy as a reaction
X(g) —> X+(g) +e-
Show second ionisation energy as a reaction
X+(g) —-> X2+ (g) + e-
What factors effect ionisation energy
The charge on the nucleus
The distance of the outer electrons from the nucleus
Amount of Sheila if created by the electrons between the outer electrons and the nucleus
How does the charge on the nuclus effect ionisation energy
More protons = more nuclear charge
More energy needed to remove an electron —> so a greater ionisation energy
How does the distance of the outer electrons from the nucleus effect ionisation we
Energy
Bigger distance - less attraction between electron and nucleus
Less energy needed to remove electron = smaller ionisation energy
How does the amount of shielding created by the electrons between the outer electrons and the nucleus effect ionisation energy
More energy levels = more sheliding
Less energy needed to remove an electron = smaller ionic energy
As you go down the group the energy required to remove an electron …….
And why
Decreases as it’s further from the nucleus and shielding by more electron
Generally as you go across a period the energy required to remove an electron ……..
Because..
Increases
As the electron you are removing is attracted more strongly by the nucleus because it has extra protons by t the distance + shielding have both remained the same (except a slight drop in atomic radius as you go across the period due to the increase in nuclear charge)
Do ionisation energy’s increase or decrease when there successive
Increases
Describe second ionisation energy
The energy required to remove one electron from each ion in one mole of gaseous 1+ ions of an element to form one more of gaseous 2+ ions
What does successive ionisation energy provide evidence for and how
the differnce energy levels
The jumps in ionisation energy
Why are there jumps in ionisation energy
Give an example
When you try to remove electrons from a lower quantum number there is a huge jump in ionisation energy
Eg. Sodium in group one
Removing one electron from 3s then it tried to remove one from 2p ( this is a huge increase in ionisation energy)
Ionisation energy generally increases as you go across the period .
What are the two exceptions
From group 2 to group 3
And
Form group 5 to group 6
Why is there a lower ionisation energy in group 3 than group 2
Group 3 is removing a p subshell
Group 2 is removing a s subshell
It’s easier to remove an electron from the p-subshell even though there is an extra proton increasing the attraction
This is because the 3s subshell is shielding the p-electron and the p-subshell is further away so less attraction
These factors override the effect of the increased nuclear charge resulting in the ionisation energy dropping slightly
Why is there a lower ionisation energy in group 6 than group 5
You have to start double fill in the orbitals in group 6
The repulsion between the 2 electrons in the same sub-orbital means that the electron is easier to remove so less energy is required
Is ionisation endothermic or exothermie and why
Endothermic - you have to put energy in to ionise an atom or a molecule
Is a lower ionisation energy easier to form an ion or harder
Easier
What does a high ionisation energy mean
There’s a strong attraction between the electron and the nucleus so more energy is needed to overcome the attraction and remove the electron
On a successive ionisation energy graph how can you tell which group an element is on
Count how many electrons are removed before the first big jump to find the group number
In the early 1800s, what were the only 2 ways to categorise elements
Physical and chemical properties
And by their relative atomic mass
When and by who attempted to group similar elements
1817
Johann döbereiner
What were the groups called in the 1817 on the periodic table
Döbereiner triad
How did johann döbereiner order the periodic table (why)
He saw that chlorine , bromine and iodine had similar characteristics
He also realised that other properties of bromine fell alfway between chlorine and iodine ,
He found other such groups of 3 elements (eg, lithium , sodium and potassium ) and called them triads
What and when did John newlands work on the periodic fable
And what did he call it
1863
He noticed that If arranged the events in order of mass, similar elements appeared at regular intivals - every 8th element was similar,
He called it law of octaves
He listed some known elements in rows od seven so that the similar elements lined up in columns
Why did John Newlands listing known elements in rows of 7 so that similar elemenys lined up in columns not work
The pattern broke down on the third row
With many transition elements like fe, cu, zn messing it up
Who created the first accepted periodic table amd when
Dmitri Mendeleev
1869
How did dmitri mendeleev order the periodic table
He arranged all the known elements by atomic mass, but left gaps in the table where the next element didn’t seem to fit
He could keep elements with similar chemical properties in the same group
He also predicted the properties of undiscovered elements that would go in the gaps
What showed Mendeleev was correct
When element were discovered with properti3d that matched Mendeleevs prediction and fit the gaps
Who and when produced the modern periodic table
Henry Moseley
1914

Describe the structure of graphite
- the carbon atoms are arranged in sheets of flat hexagons covalently bonded with 3 each
- the sheets of hexagons are bonded together by weak London forces
- the 4th outer electron of each carbon atom is delocalised between sheets of hexagons
Why does graphite feel slippers

What is graphite oftern used as and why
Dry lubricant and in pencils as slippery
Less dense - so is used to make strong lightweight sport equipment
Can graphite conduct electristy and why
The delocalised electrons in graphite arnt attached to any particular carbon atoms so are free to move along the sheets so an electric current can flow

What do metal elements exist as
Giant metallic lattice structures
Desicbe the structure and bonding if a giant metallic lattice structure
Rhe electrons in the outermost shell of metal atoms are delocalised
The electrons are free to move about the metal
This leaves a positive charged metal cations
The metal cations are elecrtostaticslly starched to the delocalised negative electrons, they form a lattice of closely packed cations in a sea of delocalised electrons,
What effects the melting point in giant metallic lattices
The number of delocalised electrons per atoms
The more there are the stronger the bonding will be and the higher the melting pinup

Why are the simple molecular structures got a low melting and boiling point
The covalent bonds between the atoms in the molecule are very strong, but the melting and boiling points of simple molecular substances depend upon the strength of the induced dipole-dipole forces between their molecules. These intermolecular forces are weak and easily overcome, so these elements have low melting and boiling points.
Why is the melting point in S8 bigger than phosphorus or chlorine
Sulphur us a bigger molecule so stronger London forces
Why are the melting and boiling points in nobel gases very low
They exist as individual atoms
( so. Very weak London forces )
For period 2, how does the melting and boiling points change across the period
For metals They increase across the period because the metallic bond get stronger as the ionic radius decreases and the number of delocalised electrons increase
Then at giants covalent lattices they have strong covalent bonds Linking all the atoms tougher
A lot of energy is needed to break these bonds
Then at simple molecular structures, have only weak intermolecular forces to overcome between there molecules so they have low melting and boiling points
The noble gases have the lowest melting points as they are held togetehr by the weakest force
What charge ions do group 2 elements form
2+
How does ionisation energy change down group 2 and why
Ionisation energy decreases
Due to increasing atomic radius and sheliding effect
How do reactivity change down group 2 and why

Are Halogens reduced or oxidised
Reduced
Are holgens reducing agents or oxideisined agent +why
Oxidising agents as they oxidise another substance
How does atomic radii change down group 7
Increases
Why does reactivity decrease down group 7
As you go down the group, the atomic radi increase so the outer electrons are further fron The outer electrons are also shielded more from the attraction of the positive nucleus, because they are more inner electrons
This makes it harder for larger atoms to attract the electron needed to form an ion ( despite the increased charge on the nucleus), so larger atoms are less reactive.
What is another way of saying that halogens get less reactive down the group
They become less oxidising
Where can halogens relative oxidising strengths can be seen
In their displacement reactions with halide ions
How can u make changes easier to see when doing a displacement reaction with halide ions

Describe the trend in atomic radius down group 7
Atomic radius increases as you go down the group
Explain the increasing in atomic radius down group 7
In all of group 7 the outer electrons have a net pull of 7+ from the nucleus
Therefore the only factor effecting size of the atom is the number of layers of inner electrons
The more layers of electrons the more space they take up. Means atoms are to get bigger down the group
What is the trend in Electronegativity down group 7
Falls down the groups as the atoms become less good at attracting bonding pairs of electrons
Explain the decreasing in Electronegativity down group 7
The bonding pair of electrons feel the same net pull of 7 +. However for larger atoms down the group the bonding pair is further away from the nucleus so it won’t be as strongly attracted
Trends in melting and boiling point down group 7
Both melting and bp rise as you go down the group
Explain the trend in mp and bp down group 7
All halogens exist as diatomic molecules so IMF between molecules are London forces
As the molecule gets bigger, more e- which move around and set up temporary dipoles, which create attractions. The stronger London forces means more energy needed to melt/boil
What is bond enthalpy
The heat needed to break one mole of a covalent bond to produce individual atoms, starting form the origional substance in the gas state, and ending with gaseous atoms
What does bond ehtlapies in halogens depend on and what is the trend
Size of covalent bind attraction will depend on the distance form the bonding pair to tow nuclei
As all halogens - net pull of 7+ fro, both ends of the bond, so as the atom gets bigger bonding pairs get further from the nucleus so the strength of the bond falls.
Why is there an exception in bond enthalpys trend in F2
Because F-F atoms are so small it’s a very weak bind, as there are also 3 non binding pairs of electrons- as the bond is short the lone pairs get close enough to set up repulsion (weakening the bond)
When halogen atoms attach to a H atoms the effect of the F-F weakened bond doesn’t ahppen, why
There are no lone pairs on hydrogen atoms
