November 18 th  & 19 th , 2009 Periodic Trends
Periodic Law When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic #, elements with similar properties appear at regular intervals (periodically).
Periodic Properties Atomic Radius Size of atom First Ionization Energy Energy required to remove one e -  from a neutral atom. Electronegativity How much an atom pulls Electrons towards itself in a bond © 1998 LOGAL © 1998 LOGAL
Atomic Radius Size of atom Li Ar Ne K Na
Atomic Radius Increases to the LEFT and DOWN Francium is the largest atom
Atomic Radius Why larger going down? Higher energy levels have larger orbitals Why smaller to the right?  Shielding  – core electrons block the attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons Increased nuclear charge without additional shielding pulls electrons in tighter
Ionization Energy Energy required to remove an electron It ALWAYS requires some energy to remove an electron!! K Na Li Ar Ne He
Ionization Energy Increases UP and to the RIGHT Helium has the highest Ionization Energy
Ionization Energy Why opposite of atomic radius? In small atoms, e -  are close to the nucleus where the attraction is stronger and they are harder to pull off Small atom = high ionization energy In larger atoms, the valence electrons are easier to pull off Large atom = low ionization energy
Electronegativity Ability of an atom to pull electrons towards itself in a bond.
Increases UP and to the RIGHT Fluorine has the highest electronegativity Noble gases have no electronegativity because they don’t form bonds Electronegativity
Electronegativity Why opposite of atomic radius? In small atoms, there is less shielding so the protons pull harder on electrons Small atom = high electronegativity In larger atoms, there is more shielding Large atom = low electronegativity
Examples Which atom has the larger radius? Be or Ba Ca or Br Ba Ca
Examples Which atom has the higher Ionization Energy? N or Bi Ba or Ne N Ne
Examples Which atom has the higher electronegativity? Li or C Cr or Kr C Kr?
