periodicity definition?
The repeating pattern of properties of elements across different periods of the periodic table. (Trends= physical and chemical properties)
periodicity of several properties includes:
- electron configuration
- ionisation energy
- structure
- melting point
first ionisation energy definition…
the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of atoms in a gaseous state
1st ionisation of sodium?
Na(g)–>Na^+(g) + e^-
1st ionisation of magnesium?
Mg(g)–>Mg^+(g) + e^-
the stronger the pull in ionisation energy, the…
more energy needed to pull out the electron
talk about the trend of ionisation energy upon the periodic table
ionisation energy decreases as you go down a group and increases as you move along a period.

triangleH
what element has the highest ionisation energy in group 1
lithium
why does ionisation energy decrease as you go down a group? (lengthy)
- down the group, there is a higher nuclear charge (more protons present in nucleus of atom)
- however, the distance between the outer electron and the nucleus increases, so its further away from the nuclear attraction of the protons in the nucleus.
- there is also increased shielding due to more electron shells between outer electron and nucleus.
- the overall effective nuclear attraction is thus less and less energy is required to move outer most electrons.
- overall, this weakens the effect of nuclear charge so less energy is required to remove outer most electrons.
why does ionisation energy decrease as you go down a group? (simplified)
- atomic radius increases
- more inner shells so shielding increases
- nuclear attraction on outer electrons decrease (first ionisation thus decreases)
1st ionisation across period 3:Na having a lower ionisation that magnesium, why
because magnesium has…
- increased nuclear charge (extra proton)
- electron added to the same shell- same distance and shielding
- atomic radii decreases, less distance from nucleus
- more effective nuclear attraction and harder to remove electron (takes more energy)
1st ionisation across period 3 EXCEPTION: magnesium having a higher ionisation energy than aluminium
because aluminium has…
- outer most electron in P orbital rather than S orbital, which has a higher energy level
- shielding from S orbital
- even though there are more protons in Al, the overall effective nuclear attraction is less (more shielding)
1st ionisation across period 3 EXCEPTION: P having a higher ionisation energy than S
because. ..
- the 3 electrons in P are in separate P-orbitals
- 2 of the 4 electrons in S are in the same P-orbital.
- there is spin pair repulsion (repulsion between paired electrons) here ^
- this outweighs the effect of having an extra proton in the nucleus
across a period, what happens to the atomic radii
it gets smaller
why does the atomic radius get smaller as you go across the period
- you add a proton to the nucleus each time
- the electrons being added are being added to the same energy level so have the same shielding
- thus electrons are more tightly held and are physically closer to the nucleus.
what does 2nd ionisation energy mean
the energy needed to remove 1 mole of electrons from 1 mole of 1+ ions in a gaseous state
2nd ionisation of Ne
Ne^+(g)–>Ne^2+(g)+e^-
3rd ionisation of Na
Na^2+(g)–>Na^3+(g)+e^-
what happens to the energy of successive ionisation energies?
the energy would increase because each ion becomes more positive so it takes more energy to overcome that
why are successive ionisation energies always greater than the previous one
- the electron is being pulled away from a more positive species
- less repulsion between remaining electrons and each shell will be drawn in slightly closer to the nucleus.The ion increases the attraction on the remaining electrons and so the energy required to remove the next electron is larger.
- large increases occur when there is a change of shell, this can be used to predict a group of an unknown element
- large increase when electron being removed is from a shell closer to the nucleus
what are the 3 factors affecting ionisation energy
- atomic radius
- nuclear charge
- electron shielding
does first ionisation energy increase or decrease between the end of one period and the start of the next? why?
DECREASE
- there is an increase in atomic radius
- there is an increase in electron shielding
does atomic radius increase or decrease down a group
increase
