The periodic table 3.1 Flashcards
How are elements arranged in the modern periodic table?
In order of increasing atomic number
What is periodicity?
The repeating patterns of physical and chemical properties across a period
What leads to periodicity?
That all elements in a period have the same number of electron shells
What is an orbital?
A region around the nucleus that can hold up to 2 electrons with opposite spin
What is a shell?
A group of orbitals in the same energy level (energy level)
What is a sub shell?
A group of the same type of atomic orbital within a shell
When does ionisation happen?
when atoms gain or lose electrons
What is the first ionisation energy?
The energy required to remove one electron from each atom in 1 mole of a gaseous element to form 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions
What is second ionisation energy?
The energy required to remove one electron from each atom ion in 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions of an element to form 1 mole of gaseous 2+ ions
What are the rules for writing out first ionisations?
- write a gas symbol next to an element even if it is not a gas
- write the ion as positive even if it may be of a different charge
What are the factors affecting the first ionisation energy
- atomic radius
- nuclear charge
- electron shielding
How does first ionisation energy change as you move across a period?
It increases overall
How does atomic radius change as you move across a period?
It decreases
How does nuclear charge change as you move across a period?
It increases
How does electron sheilding change as you move across a period?
It remains constant
What effect does atomic radius have on first ionisation energy across a period?
It increases it
What effect does nuclear charge have on first ionisation energy across a period?
It increases it
What effect does electron shielding have on first ionisation energy across a period?
It has no effect
Is more or less energy needed in sucessive ionisations?
More energy is needed
Why is there a decrease in the ionisation energies between the group 2 and 13 elements?
Group 13 have the outer electron in a P orbital and group 2 have it in a S orbital, P orbitals have higher energy so are further away from the nucleus and are easier to remove
Why is there a decrease in the ionisation energies between the group 15 and 16 elements?
In groups 13, 14 and 15 each P orbitals contain 1 electron and they begin to get spin paired in group 16, they experience more repulsion and makes them easier to remove
