Quantum Numbers and the Periodic Table Principle quantum number, n =1 to 7 Row number of periodic table Angular momentum quantum number, l= 0 to (n-1) Specific area of periodic table, spdf Magnetic quantum number, ml = –l to +l Number of orbitals = = 2l+1 Spin quantum number, ms=+1/2 or -1/2 Number of electrons, look at atomic number

Mendeleev’s Periodic Table 1869 Arranged the known elements in order of increasing atomic mass from left to right and from top to bottom in groups. Elements with similar properties are placed in same column. Used table to predict properties of undiscovered elements Eka-Silicon Germanium MM: 72 MM: 72.6 Density: 5.5g/mL Density: 5.47g/mL Color: dirty gray Color: grayish white

The Modern Periodic Table
Representative Elements: (main group elements) Incomplete s or p shell determine elemental properties
6 Valence and Core Electrons Valence electrons:
Highest shell farthest from nucleus Largest principal quantum number (n) Located on the outside of the atom Determine the behavior of the atom
Core electrons Located on the inside in inner shells. Principal quantum number is lower
Example Oxygen, O Z = 8 valence electrons e- = 6 Core electrons e- = 2

7 Effect of Valence electrons on Elements Elements most stable with noble gas configuration
Last column in periodic table No electrons want to be added or removed Octet rule satisfied (8 electrons= 2s + 6p)
Isoelectronic: ion has same spdf as noble gas Helium (and Hydrogen) follow duet rule (2 electrons)
Main group elements Valence electrons: s2p6 Electrons are added: form anions Electrons removed: form cations Transition metals
All form cations Remove electrons from shell 4s before 3d, 5s before 4d, etc.

Periodic Properties in Main Group Elements
9
Atomic Radius Atomic radius increases from top to bottom in a group Electrons are shielded from nucleus Previous shells blocks attraction Effective nuclear charge decreases Large size difference between shells
Atomic radius decreases from left to right across a row Little shielding as all electrons in same shell Effective nuclear charge higher as protons added to nucleus Electrons draw closer to nucleus
10
Ionic Radius Anions larger than atoms Low effective nuclear charge More electrons More repulsion
Cations smaller than atoms High effective nuclear charge Fewer electrons Less repulsion
11 Ionization Energy Energy needed to remove an e- from a gaseous atom (or ion)
X(g)→ X++ (g) + 1e- Endothermic Decreases top to bottom: Electrons shielded from nucleus Increases from left to right: Atoms want to now gain electrons 3rd ionization energy > 2nd >1st: Higher effective nuclear charge
12 Elemental Ionization Energies
13
Electron Affinity Energy released when an electron is added to a gaseous atom
X(g) + 1e- → X- (g) Exothermic Increases bottom to top
Small atom (F) High nuclear:e- attraction
Increases left to right Small atom (F) High nuclear:e- attraction
2nd electron affinities lower: Electrons add to already negative ion
