3.1 the periodic table Flashcards
how is the periodic table arranged
.in order of increasing proton number
.elements on the same period = same number of shells
.elements on the same group = same num of outer electrons(similar chemical properties)
what happens to atomic radius as you go along a period
.it decreases
.due to increase in nuclear charge with the same amount of shells = greater attraction to outer electrons = outer pulled closer to nucleus
what happens to atomic radius as you go down a group
.it increases
.as you go down = 1 more electron shell = + distance between outer electrons and nucleus = less attraction
.more shells = more electron shielding = less nuclear attraction = atomic radius increases
what is first ionisation energy
minimum energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of atoms in a gaseous state(KJmol-1)
.Na(g) –> Na+(g) + e-
why does successive ionisation energy increase as more electrons are removed
.as atomic radius decrease = greater attraction between nucleus and outer electrons
what is the trend of first ionisation energy along a period
.increases = decreasing atomic radius and greater forces of attraction
what is the trend of first ionisation energy down a group
.decreases = increasing atomic radius and electron shielding = less forces of attraction
what does a large jump in successive ionisation energy mean
.which group the element is in
e.g. a big jump between 3rd and 4th means that there were 3 outer electrons on the shell meaning that is was in group 3
what is the first ionisation energy trend in period 2
.general increase = - atomic radius and + nuclear charge
.boron is lower = energy diff between 2s and 2p sub-shell = electron being removed from a higher energy level = further away = held less strongly
.oxygen is lower = repulsion within 2p orbital = destabilising compared to N = easer to be removed
what is the first ionisation energy trend in period 3
.general increase = decreasing atomic radius and increasing nuclear charge = held more strongly
.aluminium is lower = energy diff between 3s and 3p = higher energy level = further from nucleus = held less strongly
.sulfur is lower = repulsion in the 3p orbital = destabilising compared to P = electron is removed easier
metallic bonding trend
.greater charge on positive ion = stronger force of attraction
.larger ions = weaker attraction due to larger atomic radius = decreasing nuclear charge
what are metallic properties
.good conductors as sea of delocalised electrons is able to move and carry flow
.malleable as the layers of positive ions can slide over each other
.high mp as the electrostatic forces of attraction are strong = require alot of energy to overcome
what is a giant covalent lattice
.network of atoms bonded by many strong covalent bonds
.high mp due to many strong covalent bonds
properties of diamond
.gaint covalent lattice
.each carbon is covalently bonded to 4 other carbons = rigid and very strong
properties of graphite
.gaint covalent lattice
.each carbon is covalently bonded to 3 other carbon in flat sheets = 1 delocalised electron per carbon = can move between layers = can conduct electricity
.strong covalent but weaker intermolecular = layers can slide over each other = good lubricant
properties of graphene
.single sheet of graphite = 1 atom thick and form hexagonal carbon rings = very strong and rigid and lightweight
.can conduct electricity due to a delocalised electron on each carbon
what is the melting points of period 2 elements
.lithium and beryllium = giant metallic = strong attraction between posi ion and electrons = metallic bonding = Be higher due to more outer electrons with same num of shell = smaller atomic radius = stronger attraction
.boron and carbon = gaint covalent = stronger covalent bonds = more energy to break = higher bp = C higher due to more outer electrons in same num of shells = smaller atomic radius = stronger attraction
.last four = small simple covalent molecules = weak van der waals = less energy to break = low mp
