P Block Flashcards
Basic knowledge
Electronic configuration
(ns1)(np1)
Oxidation state
+3
Anomalous behavior
Boron(nonmetal)
All others are metal
Radii trend
Doesn’t increase on descending the group
Unusual element
Gallium shows half expected radius
Gallium indium and tellurium
Outer shell d10 electronic configuration
GA in tl
Show poor shielding effect
4f electron
TI IS LARGER THAN IN
Ionic radii m3+ exists
Atomic radii b3+ doesn’t exist
Down the group+1 oxidation state increase and more stable than +3
Due to inert pair effect
Melting point
Regular trend
Structure of boron
20 faced icosahedral
Variation of boiling point
Expected
Density
Increase down the group
IE
Doesn’t follow regular trend
Standard electrode potential
E°=(M+|M)
Reaction with oxygen
All element on burning form M2O3
Ti2O3
For aluminium∆Hf=???
-1670kj
Reactions with water
Forms protective layer of M2O3
Oxides
M2O3
Halide
MCl3
Boron and silicone
Forms alloys spontaneous and inflammable
Reaction with alkalis
BO4. SiO4
