MOD 3 Chap 3.1 The Periodic table Flashcards
what groups make up the S block
groups 1-2
what groups make up the P block
groups 13-18
what groups make up the D block
3 to 12 (transition metals)
what can be found in the F block
lanthanides
define periodicity
the term used to describe the repeating patterns seen within groups and periods
define nuclear pull
the attraction between the nucleus and the outer shell electrons
define electron sheilding
the repulsion of outer shell electrons by the inner shell electrons
How did John Dalton organise the periodic table
he put elements in order of atomic weight (did consider isotopes)
How did John Newlands organise the periodic table
put elements in order of atomic mass (considered isotopes).
He grouped every 8 elements together
He did not leave gaps for undiscovered elements
elements in the same group were therefore not similar
How did Dimitri Mendeleev
put elements in order of atomic mass
grouped elements together if they had similar chemical properties
left gaps for elements that had not been discovered yet
define ionisation energy
a measure of the amount of energy needed to remove electrons from atoms
define first ionisation energy
the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous positive ions
-gaseous because in solids it is difficult to reach electrons
explain what happens going down the group in terms of electron shielding
going down the group the number of protons increases so the nuclear pull increases but the number of shells also increases so the amount of electron sheiling increases.
the outer electrons are repulsed increasing the atomic radius
going across a period the number shells stays the same so the ________ stays constant and the _____________ increases
going across a period the number shells stays the same so the electron shielding stays constant and the nuclear pull increases
describe the factors affecting ionisation energy
atomic radius- larger atomic radius means a smaller nuclear attraction making it easier to loose electrons
Nuclear charge- the larger the nuclear charge the larger the attractive force on outer electrons
Electron shielding-the more inner shells the larger the shielding effect and smaller the nuclear attraction meaning it is more difficult to loose vallance electrons meaning a higher ionisation energy
what happens to the atomic radius across a period
there is a decrease in atomic radius because there is an increased nuclear charge that pulls the electrons in towards it
why is each ionisation energy higher than the successive one successive ionisation higher than the one before
as each electron is removed there is less repulsion between the remaining electrons and each shell is drawn closer to the nucleus. the positive charge will outweigh the negative charge meaning more energy is needed to remove outer shell electrons
what factors does nuclear attraction experienced by the electrons depend on
atomic radius
nuclear charge
electron shielding
a larger atomic radius means a _______ nuclear attraction
a larger atomic radius means a smaller nuclear attraction
describe how toms in metallic bonding are organised
positive ions occupy fixed positions in the lattice while the outer shell electrons are delocalised.
Properties of giant metallic lattices
high melting and boiling points because the attraction between positive ions and the negative delocalised electrons is very high meaning a high temperature is required to overcome the metallic bonds and dislodge the ions from their rigid positions in the lattice
good electrical conductivity- delocalised electrons move freely.
define ductile and malleable
ductile- can be drawn out or stretched
malleable- can be hammered into different shapes
as you go down group 2 reactivity _______
as you go down group 2 reactivity increases
