What does the word “periodic” mean?

• Periodic:

Mendeleev 1869

• Arranged elements according to _______________________

• Put elements of similar properties in the same_______________________

• Why did he leave blank spots in table?

2 questions …..

1. Why could most elements be arranged in order of increasing atomic mass but a few could not? (Te & I, Co & Ni, Ar & K)

2. What was the REASON for chemical periodicity?

Henry Mosley1911 (40+ years later)…

• Used X-ray and spectral studies to show that each element has ________________

• ___________________ is a better basis for organizing the Periodic Table

Periodic Law

• The physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their___________

Modern Periodic Table

• An arrangement of the elements in order of their______________

so that elements with similar properties fall in the same___________,

or _____________

Noble Gases

• Proposed by Sir William Ramsay and John William Strutt

• Lack of chemical ______________

The Lanthanides

• The 14 elements with atomic numbers from 58(cerium, Ce) to 71(lutetium, Lr)

• Similar in__________ and___________ properties

The Actinides

• The 14 elements with atomic number from 90(thorium, Th) to 103(lawrencium, Lr)

Periodicity

• Figure 5-4 on page 126

• Periodicity is explained by the arrangement of the________________around the nucleus

The Periodic Table

What is the outer configuration of the following:

Periodic Properties

Atomic Radius• One-half the distance between the nuclei

of identical atoms that are bonded together

Group Trend for Atomic Radii

• Down a group the radius of an atom gets ……..…. because…

Period Trend for Atomic Radii

• Across a period the radius of an atom gets ………………....because….

• Exception: Noble Gas Family – atoms don’t interact and pull together like in other atoms because__

Why does the atomic radii not decrease very much as you move

across the d-sublevel?

Why would the atomic radius of hafnium (#72) be LESS than that

of zirconium (#40)?

Ionization energy, IE

• Energy required to _________ an electron from a neutral atom (or first ionization energy, IE1)

• __________: charged particle• _______________: process of an electron

being lost or gained from an atom which results in the formation of an ion

Group Trend for Ionization Energies

• Down a group the ionization energy of an atom generally gets …………………

because….

Period Trend for Ionization Energies

• Across a period the ionization energy …….…..because

4 Factors Affecting Ionization Energy

Multiple Ionization Energies• Energy required to remove the 2nd, 3rd, etc.

electron from an atom

• IE3……. IE2….. IE1 because ………

Why does the IE go UP as you go down a d-sublevel group but go

down in an s sublevel?

Electron Affinity p. 147• Energy change the occurs when an __________________________ by a neutral atom

• Most atoms _______ energy when they acquire an electron: A + e- A- + energy– energy has _____sign

• Some atoms ________ energy when they acquire an electron: A + e- + energy A-

– energy has ______ sign; atom is unstable & loses electron spontaneously

Group Trend for Electron Affinities

• Down a group the electron affinity of an atom tends to get …………….because

Period Trend for Electron Affinity• Across the p-sublevel, the energy change

………………(becomes more …………..)

because…..

Why is the electron affinity of nitrogen so low when compared

to carbon or oxygen?

Ionic Radii• Cation:

• _________ ion

• Formed by an atom …………. electron(s)

• Always …………. because electron cloud is smaller (less repulsion) & sometimes even one less energy level!

• Anion:

• __________ ion

• Formed by an atom …………… electron(s)

• Always …………. because electron cloud is greater (more repulsion among electrons)

Group Trend for Ionic Radii
