Periodic Trends in Periodic Trends in Atomic PropertiesAtomic Properties

3

Characteristic properties and trends of the elements are the basis of the periodic table’s design.

4

These trends allow us to use the periodic table to accurately predict properties and reactions of a wide variety of substances.

Metals and NonmetalsMetals and NonmetalsMetals and NonmetalsMetals and Nonmetals

Chemical Properties of Metals

• metals tend to lose electrons and form positive ions (cations).

• nonmetals tend to gain electrons and form negative ions (anions).

Chemical Properties of Nonmetals

When metals react with nonmetals electrons are usually transferred from the metal to the nonmetal.

Metals are found to the left of the metalloidsNonmetals are found to the right of the metalloids.

Atomic RadiusAtomic RadiusAtomic RadiusAtomic Radius

9

Radii of atoms increase down a group.

For each step down a group, electrons enter the next higher energy level.

10

Radii of atoms tend to decrease from left to right across a period.

For representative elements within the same period the energy level remains constant as electrons are added.

Each time an electron is added a proton is a added to the nucleus.

This increase in positive nuclear charge pulls all electrons closer to the nucleus.

The ionization energy of an atom is the energy required to remove the outermost electron from an atom.

Lewis “Dot” Structures of AtomsLewis “Dot” Structures of Atoms

16

Metals form cations and nonmetals form anions to attain a stable valence electron structure.

17

This stable structure often consists of two s and six p electrons.These rearrangements occur by losing, gaining, or sharing electrons.

18

• Na with the electron structure 1s22s22p63s1

has 1 valence electron.

The Lewis structure of an atom is a representation that shows the valenceelectrons for that atom.

• Fluorine with the electron structure 1s22s22p5

has 7 valence electrons

19

The Lewis structure of an atom uses dots to show the valence electrons of atoms.

The number of dots equals the number of s and p electrons in the atom’s outermost shell.

22

The chemistry of many elements, especially the representative ones, is to attain the same outer electron structure as one of the noble gases.

23

With the exception of helium, this structure consists of eight electrons in the outermost energy level.

24

The Covalent Bond:The Covalent Bond: Sharing ElectronsSharing Electrons

25

A covalent bond consists of a pair of electrons shared between two atoms.

In the millions of chemical compounds that exist, the covalent bond is the predominant chemical bond.

26

Substances which covalently bond exist as molecules.

Carbon dioxide bonds covalently. It exists as individually bonded covalent molecules containing one carbon and two oxygen atoms.

27

The term molecule is not used when referring to ionic substances.

Sodium chloride bonds ionically. It consists of a large aggregate of positive and negative ions. No molecules of NaCl exist.

28

Covalent bonding in the hydrogen molecule

Two 1s orbitals from each of two hydrogen atoms overlap.

Each 1s orbital contains 1 electron.

The orbital of the electrons includes both hydrogen nuclei.

The most likely region to find the two electrons is between the two nuclei.

The two nuclei are shielded from each other by the electron pair. This allows the two nuclei to draw close together.

Two 1s orbitals from each of two hydrogen atoms overlap.

Covalent bonding with equal sharing of electrons occurs in diatomic molecules formed from one element.

A dash may replace a pair of dots.

ElectronegativityElectronegativity

Linus Pauling

31

electronegativity The relative attraction that an atom has for a pair of shared electrons in a covalent bond.

32

• If the two atoms that constitute a covalent bond are identical then there is equal sharing of electrons.

• This is called nonpolar covalent bonding.

• Ionic bonding and nonpolar covalent bonding represent two extremes.

33

• If the two atoms that constitute a covalent bond are not identical then there is unequal sharing of electrons.

• This is called polar covalent bonding.

• One atom assumes a partial positive charge and the other atom assumes a partial negative charge.– This charge difference is a result of the

unequal attractions the atoms have for their shared electron pair.

34

Polar and Non-Polar

35

:H Cl+ -

Shared electron pair.

:The shared electron pair is closer to chlorine than to hydrogen.

Partial positive charge on hydrogen.

Partial negative charge on chlorine.

Chlorine has a greater attraction for the shared electron pair than hydrogen.

Polar Covalent Bonding in HCl

The attractive force that an atom of an element has for shared electrons in a molecule or a polyatomic ion is known as its electronegativity.

36

A scale of relative electronegativities was developed by Linus Pauling.

37

Electronegativity decreases down a group for representative elements.

Electronegativity generally increases left to right across a period.

38

A dipole is a molecule that is electrically asymmetrical, causing it to be oppositely charged at two points.

A dipole can be written as + -

39

An arrow can be used to indicate a dipole.

The arrow points to the negative end of the dipole.

H Cl H Br H

Molecules of HCl, HBr and H2O are polar .

40

A molecule containing different kinds of atoms may or may not be polar depending on its shape.

The carbon dioxide molecule is nonpolar because its carbon-oxygen dipoles cancel each other by acting in opposite directions.

41

Lewis Structures ofLewis Structures ofCompoundsCompounds

42

In writing Lewis structures, the most important consideration for forming a stable compound is that the atoms attain a noble gas configuration.

43

• The most difficult part of writing Lewis structures is determining the arrangement of the atoms in a molecule or an ion.

• In simple molecules with more than two atoms, one atom will be the central atom surrounded by the other atoms.

44

Cl2O has two possible arrangements.

Cl-Cl-OThe two chlorines can be bonded to each other.

Cl-O-ClThe two chlorines can be bonded to oxygen.

Usually the single atom will be the central atom.

• Metals usually have one, two or three electrons in their outer shells.

• When a metal reacts it:– usually loses one two or three electrons

– attains the electron structure of a noble gas

– becomes a positive ion.

• The positive ion formed by the loss of electrons is much smaller than the metal atom.

61

• Nonmetals are usually only a few electrons short of having a noble gas structure.

• When a nonmetal reacts it:– usually gains one two or three electrons

– attains the electron structure of a noble gas

– becomes a negative ion.• The negative ion formed by the gain of

electrons is much larger than the nonmetal atom.
