PERIODIC TRENDS
■ Since the atomic number directly represents the number of
protons, the properties of elements within a group and across a
period will vary. The properties of elements that are affected are
metallic and nonmetallic properties, atomic radius, ionization
energy, electron affinity, ionic size, and electronegativity.
■ Periodic trends, arising from the arrangement of the periodic table,
provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly predict an
element's properties. These trends exist because of the similar
atomic structure of the elements within their respective group
families or periods, and because of the periodic nature of the
elements.
METALLIC PROPERTY
■ Elements with three or less electrons in the outer energy level are
classified as metals, while elements with live or more electrons in
the outer energy level are classified as nonmetals. Elements
adjacent to the ladder like line exhibit some of the properties of both
metals and nonmetals. These elements are called metalloids.
Metals have high densities, high melting temperatures, luster, and
are good conductors of heat and electricity. Metals are usually solid
and their oxides are often soluble in acidic solutions. They can be
shaped into wires (ductilel or hammered into flat shapes (malleable).
All metals are temperature except mercury, which is liquid.
■ Nonmetals are often in gaseous or liquid form. They have low
densities, low melting temperatures, and are poor conductors of
heat and electricity. Their oxides are usually soluble in basic
solutions. Nonmetals are not very shiny, malleable, or ductile.
Some common examples of nonmetals are C. N. CI. S. and P.
•Metallic character refers to the level of reactivity of a
metal.
•Non-metallic character relates to the tendency to
accept electrons during chemical reactions.
•Move left across period and down the group: increase
metallic character (heading towards alkali and alkaline
metals)
•Move right across period and up the group: decrease
metallic character (heading towards nonmetals like noble
gases)
Atomic Radius
■ Atomic radius or Atomic
Radii is the total distance
from the nucleus of an
atom to the outermost
orbital of its electron.
■ Unlike a ball, an atom has
fuzzy edges.
■ The radius of an atom can
only be found by
measuring the distance
between the nuclei of two
touching atoms, and then
dividing that distance by
two.
Period: in general, as we go
across a period from left to
right, the atomic radius
decreases
–Effective nuclear charge
increases, therefore the valence
electrons are drawn closer to
the nucleus, decreasing the size
of the atom
Family: in general, as we down
a group from top to bottom, the
atomic radius increases
–Orbital sizes increase in
successive principal quantum
levels
CONCEPT CHECK
Which should be the larger atom? Why?
■ O or N
■ K or Ca
■ Cl or F
■ Be or Na
■ Li or Mg
Ionization energies
■ When a neutral atom
loses or gains an
electron, the product
particle is an ion, and
the gain or loss
process is termed
ionization.
■ Energy is required to
remove one or more
electrons from a
neutral atom, and this
is referred to as
ionization energy or
ionization potential.
GROUP TREND: In vertical groups, ionization energy decreases
from top to bottom. This is because electrons are farther from the
nucleus & filled levels cause a shielding effect.
SHIELDING EFFECT: Inner electrons shield outer electrons from
the positive nucleus. This means outer electrons are not held as
tightly.
PERIOD TREND: Ionization energy tends to increase as you move
from left to right toward the noble gases. This is because metals
tend to lose electrons & nonmetals tend to gain electrons. All of
them want to as stable as the noble gases.
■ The smaller the atomic radius, the more closely the
electrons are held by the nucleus, and thus
the higher the ionization energy.
■ So, in general, ionization energy increases from the
bottom-left to the upper-right of the periodic table.
The minimum amount of energy required to dislodge the least firmly
attached electron from an atom in the gaseous state is called the first
ionization energy, the second ionization energy is the amount of
energy required to remove the second electron from the gaseous atom;
and so forth.
Which atom would be harder to remove an
electron from?
IONIZATION ENERGY
•X + energy → X+ + e– X(g) → X+ (g) + e–
• First electron removed is IE1
• Can remove more than one electron
(IE2 , IE3 ,…)
Ex. Magnesium
Mg → Mg+ + e– IE1 = 735 kJ/mol
Mg+ → Mg2+ + e– IE2 = 1445 kJ/mol
Mg2+ → Mg3+ + e– IE3 = 7730 kJ/mol*
*Core electrons are bound much more tightly than
valence electrons
