56
Q

how did Mendeleev organize the PT?

A

ordered by increasing atomic mass

elements with similar properties were in the same column

57
Q

issues with periodic law

A

doesn’t explain why the column pattern exists

58
Q

How did Mendeleev’s periodic table differ from the modern periodic table and how did this affect the wording of the periodic law?

A

Mendeleev: when elements are arranged in order of atomic mass, periodic properties recur

Modern PT is arranged by atomic number (number of protons)

59
Q

Why do elements in the same group have similar chemical properties?

A

They have the same number of valence electrons

60
Q

Which two families contain the most reactive elements? Can you suggest a possible reason for this given their locations in the periodic table?

A

Alkali metals and halogens

Alkali metals lose their outer s1 electron to gain a noble gas configuration

Halogens add an electron to their outer s2 p5 configuration to gain a noble gas configuration

61
Q

periodic trends are due to:

A

strength of attraction between the nucleus and outer electrons

62
Q

3 factors strength of attraction depends on

A

nuclear charge
number of core electrons
distance of outer electrons from nucleus

63
Q

1/2 distance between 2 adjacent metal atoms in a metallic crystal

65
Q

A

1/2 distance between 2 non-bonded atoms that are touching

66
Q

A

increases across a period and down a group

67
Q

atomic radius trend

A

increases down a group

decreases across a period

68
Q

to calculate bond lengths:

A

add atomic radii of two bonding atoms

69
Q

What attractive force is responsible for holding the cloud of electrons in place in atoms?

A

Nuclear attraction

70
Q

What effect would a strengthening of nuclear attraaction have on the size of atoms?

A

Increasing nuclear attraction makes the atom smaller

71
Q

What might cause a strengthening of that force?

A

Increasing the nuclear charge (adding protons)

72
Q

What might contribute to a weakening of that force?

A

Increasing the shielding effect by adding core electrons

73
Q

Why does the quantum mechanical model description of multi-electron atoms make it difficult to define a precise atomic radius?

A

Atoms do not have precise boundaries. Orbitals represent the 90 % probability of finding an
electron in a volume of space

74
Q

When nonbonded atoms come up against one another, what determines how closely the nuclear centers can approach?

A

Repulsion between each of the atom’s outermost electrons

75
Q

Which of the three factors that contribute to atomic size, predominates as we move across a period? What is the result on atomic size?

A

nuclear attraction predominates (no new energy levels added) making the atom smaller

76
Q

Which of the three factors contribute to atomic size predominates as we move down a group? What is the result on atomic size?

A

distance of outer electrons from the nucleus and shielding both increase making the atom larger

77
Q

what happens after cations form from neutral atoms?

A

Electrons are removed from energy levels furthest from nucleus

Electron-electron repulsions decrease

78
Q

what happens when an anion forms from its neutral atom?

A

Electrons are added to energy levels further from the nucleus

Electron-electron repulsions increase

88
Q

t/f: Cations are larger than their corresponding neutral atoms

A

False: cations are smaller than their neutral atoms

89
Q

t/f: Li1+ is smaller than Li

A

True: cations are smaller than their neutral atoms

90
Q

t/f: Cl1- is bigger than I1-

A

False: ionic radius increases down a group for ions with the same charge

91
Q

For isoelectronic ions, how are effective nuclear charge and ionic radius related?

A

They are inversely related-as Zeff increases, ionic radius decreases

92
Q

why is O2- is larger than O

A

Because O2- has gained two more electrons, electron-electron repulsion is increased making the ion bigger than the neutral atom

93
Q

why is S2- is larger than O2

A

ionic radius increases down a group

94
Q

why is S2- is larger than K1+

A

These are an isoelectronic series (3s2 3p6) so increasing atomic number=increasing nuclear charge. S2- has a smaller nuclear charge than K1+ making S2- larger

95
Q

why is K1+ is larger than Ca2+

A

These are an isoelectronic series (3s2 3p6) so increasing atomic number=increasing nuclear charge. K1+- has a smaller nuclear charge than Ca2+ making K1+- larger

96
Q

What is the general relationship between the size of an atom and its first ionization energy?

A

The larger the atom the lower its first IE

97
Q

Explain the difference between ionization energy and electron affinity

A

Ionization energy is the energy change that is required to remove an electron from an atom to form a cation and is usually positive

Electron affinity is the energy change that is required for an atom to gain an electron to form an anion and is usually negative

98
Q
