AS.6 Periodicity Flashcards
Periodicity
Repeating patterns and trends across a period of the periodic table
Trends in melting/boiling point across a period - giant metallic lattice structures
General increase
More delocalised electrons and higher ionic charge of cations
Higher electrostatic attraction
Stronger metallic bonds
Trends in melting/boiling point across a period - simple covalent lattice structures
E.g. period 3
P4 S8 Cl2 Ar
S8 P4 Cl2 Ar
All have London forces as strongest IMF
Decreasing number of electrons
S8 has more surface area contact points
Trends in melting and boiling point across period - giant covalent lattice structures
Covalent bonds are strongest
Comparing melting and boiling points across a period
Giant covalent
Giant metallic
Simple covalent
Group 2 reactions
Get oxidised
Lose 2 electrons
Group 2 reactivity down a group
Increases
Atomic radius increase
Shielding increase
Valence electrons further from nucleus
Nucleus attraction decrease
Donate more readily
