Q

ionic radius

A
  • positive ions have smaller ionic radius than parent atoms due to loss of outer shell
  • negative ions have bigger ionic r than parent atoms due to increased electron repulsion in outer principal E level
  • decreases from groups 1-14 for positive ions due to increase in nuclear charge (increased attraction btwn nucleus & electrons pulls outer shell closer to nucleus)
  • decreases from group 14-17 for negative ions due to increase in nuclear charge
  • increases down a group as # of electron energy levels increase

Q

first ionization energy (I1)

A
  • energy required to remove 1 mole of electrons from ground state of 1 mole of gaseous atom
  • [ H(g) -> H+(g) + e- ]
  • always endothermic & positive value
  • measure of attraction btwn nucleus & outer electrons
  • increases across a period bc increase In Zeff causes increase in attraction btwn outer electrons & nucleus, making electrons harder to remove
  • decreases down a group bc increased distance btwn electron and nucleus due to # of electron energy levels increasing reduces attraction btwn e- and nucleus
  • opposite trend of atomic radii

Q

small departures from first ionization trend

A
  • provide evidence for division of energy levels into sub-levels
  • group 2 [ns2] has greater I1 than group 13 [ns2p1]: p orbitals have higher energy than s orbitals
  • group 15 [ns2npx1py1pz1] has greater I1 than group 16 [ns2npx2py1pz1]: electron removed from group 16 is taken from doubly occupied p-orbital (unlike group 15). It is easier to remove as it’s repelled by its partner

Q

first electron affinity

A
  • change in energy when 1 mole of electrons is added to 1 mole of gaseous atoms to form 1 mole of gaseous ions
  • [ X(g) + e- -> X-(g) ]
  • exothermic & negative
  • negative of I1 of anion
  • group 17: attract e- the most bc incomplete outer E level & high Zeff (≈+7)
  • group 1: attract e- the least bc lowest Zeff (≈+1)
  • group 2&15: maximum EA bc
    • group 2 [ns2]: added e- must be placed into p-orbital which is further from nucleus and experiences reduced electrostatic attraction due to shielding from electrons in s-orbital
    • group 15 [ns2npx1py1pz1]: added electron must occupy p-orbital that’s already singly occupied. so attraction btwn electron & atom is less than expected due to increased electron repulsion

Q

electronegativity

A
  • measure of ability of its atom to attract electrons in covalent bond
  • measure of attraction btwn nucleus and outer electrons that are bonding
  • element with higher EN have higher electron pulling power
  • element with lower EN have lower electron pulling power

  • decreases down a group bc bonding electrons are further from nucleus and more shielded, reducing attraction
  • doesn’t apply to group 18 bc they don’t form covalent bonds

Q

melting point

A
  • very complex since it depends on bonding & structure of elements
  • simple for group 1 & 17
  • group 1: melting point decreases down the group bc its metallic structure is held together by attractive forces btwn delocalized outer electrons & positively charged ions and this attraction decreases with distance
  • group 17: melting point increases down the group bc its molecular structure is held together by weak intermolecular forces (London dispersion forces) and this attraction increases with number of electrons in molecule
  • generally rises across a period, max at group 14, fall back to reach minimum at group 18

Q

chemical properties

A
  • detemrined by electron configuration of its atoms
  • elements of same group have similar chemical properties as they have same number of valence electrons
  • group 18: colorless gas, monoatomic, very unreactive bc of inability to lose/gain electrons
    • don’t form cations bc highest IE
    • don’t form anions as extra e- would need to be added to an empty outer energy level shell where e- would experience negligible Zeff
    • stable octet except Helium
  • all other atoms: reactive bc unstable incomplete electron energy levels. lose/gain electrons to achieve electron configuration of nearest noble gas
    • group 1, 2, 13: lose electrons, generally metals
    • group 15, 16, 17: gain electrons, generally non-metals
  • metalloids: intermediate properties

Q

group 1: alkali metals

A

silvery, too reactive to be found in nature (stored in oil to prevent contact with water/air)
- reactivity increases down a group as elements with higher atomic number have lower IE
- react with water to produce hydrogen & metal hydroxide
- lithium: floats & reacts slowly, releases hydrogen but keeps its shape
- sodium: reacts vigorously with release of hydrogen, heat produced is used to melt metal, forming small ball that moves around water surface
- potassium: reacts more vigorously to produce sufficient heat to ignite the hydrogen produced
- e.g. [ 2K(s) + 2H2O(l) -> 2K+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + H2(g) ]

21

23
Q

25

  • reactivity decreases down the group
  • form ionic compounds with metals
  • form covalent compounds with other non-metals
26
Q

group 17 & 1 reactions

A
  • halogens reacting with alkali metals form ionic halides: halogen atom gains one electron from group 1 element and forms halide ion X-, resulting in both ions having stable octet
    • e.g. [ 2Na(s) + Cl2 (g) -> 2NaCl(s) ]
      • electrostatic force of attraction btwn oppositely charged Na+ & Cl- ions bonds ions together
  • most vigorous reaction occurs btwn alkali metal at bottom of group 1 & halogen at top of group 17
27
Q

displacement reaction

A
  • seeing relative reactivity of elements by placing them in direct competition for extra electron
  • e.g. [ 2Br-(aq) + Cl2(aq) -> 2Cl-(aq) + Br2(aq) ]
    • Cl nucleus has stronger attraction for electron than Br nucleus due to smaller atomic radius, so Cl takes electron from Br ion to form Cl- while Br- forms Br
28
Q

identifying halide ion in solution

A
  • halogens form insoluble salts with silver
  • [ Ag+(aq) + X-(aq) -> AgX(s) ]
  • adding solution containing a halide to solution containing silver ions produces precipitate which is useful for identifying halide ion in solution (based on color)
29
Q

bonding of period 3 oxides

A
  • all emmebts in peroid 3 can bond with oxygen except Ar (noble gas, doesn’t interact w/ oxygen)

  • covalent compounds: formed btwn non-metals so oxides of P, S, Cl are molecular covalent
  • oxide of silicon (metalloid): giant covalent
  • ionic character of compound depends on difference in EN btwn elements
    • ionic character of oxides decrease from left to right across a period as EN increases toward 3.4 (=EN O), increase down group as EN decreases

37
Q

electron configuration & atomic radii of first row d-block

A
  • simillar, relatively small range in atomic radii
  • relatively small decrease in atomic radii across the period due to correspondingly small increase in Zeff experienced by outer 4s electrons
    • increase in nuclear charge is largely offset by addition of electrons in 3d sub-level
  • similarity in atomic radii explains how transition metals can form alloys: atoms of one d-block can be replaced w/ atoms of another w/o too much disruption of solid structure
  • small increase in Zeff accounts for small range in I1
38
Q

  • bc strong metallic bonding in elements
    • 3d & 4s electrons are close in energy and all are involved in bonding & forms parts of delocalized sea of electrons that holds metal lattice together. this large # of delocalized e- accounts for the strength of metallic bond & high electrical conductivity

  • oxidation states above 3+ generally show covalent character

48
Q

how to find the visible color when replacing ligand

A

1) replacing with ligand with higher E -> increase change in energy -> shorter wavelength -> absorbs color +1 to the right on color wheel -> sees the color on the opposite side
