Atoms & the Periodic Table
2
Chapter Outline What is Atom?
Chemical properties of Atoms: the Periodicity Isotopes Electrons in Atom: Quantum physics’ view Valence electrons and the Periodic Table Periodic trend: Atomic Radius, Metallic Character, Ionization Energy
3
Experiencing Atoms Atoms: incredibly small, yet compose everything
atoms are the pieces of Elements properties of the atoms determine the properties of the elements
4
Within an Atom Atoms = (Protons + Neutrons) + Electrons
The nucleus (Protons + Neutrons) is only about cm in diameter yet with most of the mass of the atom The electrons move outside the nucleus with an average distance of about 10-8 cm The atom is electrically neutral : number of proton = number of electron
5
Comparison among Proton, Electron, Neutron
6
Elements each Element has a unique number of protons in its nucleus
Atomic number: the number of Protons in the nucleus of an atom the elements are arranged on the Periodic Table in order of their atomic numbers Name and Symbol of an Element symbol either one or two letters one capital letter or one capital letter + one lower case
7
The Periodic Table of Elements
8
The Size of Atoms Atomic Mass Unit (amu): 1 amu = 1.66 10-24 g
Hydrogen the smallest atom mass of H atom= 1.67 x 10-24g ~ 1 amu volume of H atom = 2.1 x 10-25cm3
9
Isotopes The same element could have atoms with different masses
Examples: 2 isotopes of chlorine atoms in nature: one weighs about 35 amu (Cl-35); another weighs about 37 amu (Cl-37) Carbon-12 (C-12) is much more abundant than C-13.
10
Isotopes all isotopes of an element: chemically identical
undergo the exact same chemical reactions the same number of protons different numbers of neutrons. Example: C-14: 8 neutrons; C-12 : 6 neutrons. identified by their mass numbers protons + neutrons
11
Isotopes Atomic Number (Z) Mass Number (A)
Number of protons Mass Number (A) Protons + Neutrons Abundance = relative amount found in a sample Example: Cl-35 (75%) vs. Cl-37 (25%)
12
Isotopic Symbol for Cl-35
Cl-35 has a mass number = 35, 17 protons and 18 neutrons ( ). The symbol for this isotope would be Cl 35 17 Atomic Symbol A = mass number Z = atomic number #neutrons = A - Z AX Z
13
Example: How many protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom of
Isotopic symbol element atomic number #p #e #n #proton = ____ #neutron = ____ #electron = ____
14
Mass Number is Not the Same as Atomic Mass
Atomic mass (or Atomic Weight) is an experimental number determined from all naturally occurring isotopes. Atomic mass is shown in the periodic table. Example: Carbon has atomic mass Mass number refers to the number of protons + neutrons in one isotope Example: Carbon-12 has Mass number of 12.
15
The Modern Periodic Table
Elements with similar chemical and physical properties are in the same column columns are called Groups or Families designated by a number and letter at top rows are called Periods each period shows the pattern of properties repeated in the next period
16
Main Group vs. Transition Metal
Main Group = Representative Elements = ‘A’ groups Transition Metals = ‘B’ groups Aka Transition elements Inner Transition Elements = Bottom rows = Rare Earth Elements metals really belong in Period 6 & 7
17
Main group vs. Transition metals, Inner transition metals
= Metalloid = Nonmetal IA VIIIA IIA IIIA IIIB VIIB VIIIB IB IIB
18
Metals: Physical vs. Chemical Properties
solids at room temperature, except Hg reflective surface shiny conduct heat, electricity Malleable (can be shaped) Tend to Lose electrons and form Cations in reactions. Na Na+ + e - about 75% of the elements are metals lower left on the table
19
Nonmetals: Physical vs. Chemical Properties
Elements found in all 3 states poor conductors of heat or electricity solids are brittle Tend to gain electrons in reactions to become anions: Cl + e - Cl- upper right on the table except H
20
Metalloids: between Metals and Nonmetals
show some properties of metals and some of nonmetals also known as semiconductors Properties of Silicon shiny conducts electricity does not conduct heat well brittle

23
Important Element - Hydrogen
nonmetal colorless, diatomic gas H2 very low melting point & density reacts with Nonmetals to form molecular compounds HCl is acidic gas H2O is a liquid reacts with Metals to form hydrides Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) used in rechargeable battery HX (X = halogen) dissolves in water to form acids
24
Important Element - Carbon
Three forms of pure carbon: Diamond: hardest substance in nature Graphite: soft and slippery solid (graphene as one layer of graphite) Buckminsterfullerene: a molecule made of 60 carbon atoms in a sphere
25
Carbon as backbone for Organic/Biochemical Molecules
Carbon atoms capable of forming robust bonds with many other elements and themselves. Examples: Small molecules: Butane, Sugar, Fatty acid, Vitamins Big molecules (Polymers): Starch, Kevlar, Teflon, Protein, and DNA
26
Group IA: Alkali Metals
All metals: soft, low melting points Colorful when tested in Flame ® Li = red, Na = yellow, K = violet Very reactive. React with water to form basic (alkaline) solutions and H2. releases a lot of heat Tend to form water soluble compounds such as table salt and baking soda. colorless solutions lithium sodium potassium rubidium cesium
27
Group IIA: Alkaline Earth Metals
harder, higher melting, and denser than alkali metals flame tests ® Ca = red, Sr = red, Ba = yellow-green Chemical properties: reactive, but less than corresponding alkali metal form stable, insoluble oxides. From Be to Ba, reactivity with water increases (forming H2) beryllium magnesium calcium strontium barium
28
Group VIIA: Halogens nonmetals F2 & Cl2 gases; Br2 liquid; I2 solid
all diatomic very reactive react with metals to form ionic compounds, such as NaCl HX all acids fluorine chlorine bromine iodine
29
Group VIIIA: Noble Gases
all gases at room temperature, very unreactive, practically inert very hard to lose or gain electron from another element
30
Atomic Orbitals 1920’s: Quantum Physicists propose the following
Electrons move very fast around the nucleus, thus better described as WAVE function Wave function suggests electrons show up with a particular probability at certain location of the atom Orbital: A region where the electrons show up a very high probability
31
Electron Shells Cl (17p+ & 17e-)
Electron Shell: the main energy level for the orbital. Principal quantum number n = 1, 2, … For a chlorine (Cl) atom, three shells of electrons: The innermost shell (n = 1; 2 electrons) has the lowest energy The outmost shell (n = 3, 7 electrons) has the highest energy 17 p+ 2e- 8e- 7e- Cl (17p+ & 17e-)
32
Each Shell have Subshells
Each Electron Shell has one or more Subshells (s, p, d, f) the number of subshells = the Principal quantum number n n = 1, one subshell (1s); n = 2, two subshells (2s, 2p) n = 3, three subshells (3s, 3p, 3d) n = 4, three subshells (4s, 4p, 4d, 4f) each Subshell has orbitals with a particular shape the shape represents the probability map 90% probability of finding electron in that region
33
Shapes of Subshells s Orbital p Orbitals: px , py , pz d Orbitals
34
f orbitals Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e 34
35
Shapes of f orbitals: 4f orbitals (downloaded from public domain) The coloration corresponds to the sign (“+” or “-”) of function.
36
Shells & Subshells
37
1s Subshell vs. 2s Subshell
38
Subshells and Orbitals
Among the subshells of a principal shell, slightly different energies: s < p < d < f (f subshell has the highest energy) each subshell contains one or more Orbitals s : 1 orbital p : 3 orbitals d : 5 orbitals f : 7 orbitals within one subshell, different orbitals have the same energy. Example: 2px, 2py and 2pz

40
Spinning Electron(s) in Orbital
Experiments showed Electrons spin generating their own magnetic field Pauli Exclusion Principle each Orbital may have a maximum of 2 electrons, with opposite spin Two electrons sharing the same orbital must have Opposite spins so their magnetic fields will cancel analogous to two bar magnets in parallel: only opposite alignment could stabilize each other.
41
Electron Configurations
Definition: The distribution of electrons into the various energy shells (n = 1,2,3,…) and subshells (s, p, d, f) in an atom in its ground state Each energy shell and subshell has a maximum number of electrons it can hold Subshell s = 2, p = 6, d = 10, f = 14 Shell n: 1 = 2e, 2 = 8e, 3 = 18e, 4 = 32e Electrons fill in the energy shells and subshells in order of energy, from low energy up Aufbau Principal (“Construction” in German)
42
Order of Subshell Filling in Ground State Electron Configurations
1. Diagram putting each energy shell on a row and listing the subshells, (s, p, d, f), for that shell in order of energy, (left-to-right) 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 3d 4s 4p 4d 4f 5s 5p 5d 5f 6s 6p 6d 7s 2. draw arrows through the diagonals, looping back to the next diagonal each time
43
Filling the Orbitals in a Subshell with Electrons
Energy shells fill from lowest energy to high 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 Subshells fill from lowest energy to high s → p → d → f Orbitals of the same subshell have the same energy. Three 2p orbitals; Five 3d orbitals Electrons prefer “spreading out” in orbitals of same subshell before they pair up in orbitals. Hund’s Rule Example: 2p3 _ _ _ instead of ____
44
Electron Configuration of Atoms in their Ground State
Electron configuration: a listing of the subshells in order of filling with the number of electrons in that subshell written as a superscript Rb = 37 electrons = a shorthand way : use the symbol of the previous noble gas in [] for the inner electrons, then just write the last set Rb = __________ 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s1
45
Orbital Diagrams often an orbital as a square
the electrons in that orbital as arrows the direction of the arrow represents the spin of the electron unoccupied orbital orbital with 1 electron orbital with 2 electrons
46
Hund’s Rule Electrons bear negative charge, thus repelling each other when they are close together: Coulombic force (electrostatic force) Each electron has spin, the magnetic field from the opposite spin from two electrons helping to overcome the repulsion (magnetic force) When filling subshells with more than one orbitals like p, d, and f: Electrons first occupy separate orbitals; if any more electrons present, then form pairs in the orbitals.
47
Example: Electron Configuration and Orbital Diagram of Sulfur Atom
How to write electron configuration? First count the number of electrons in the atom Fill each subshell until full (s = 2, p = 6, d = 10, etc), starting from 1s.
48
Valence Electron vs. Core Electron
Valence Electron: the electrons in all the subshells with the highest principal energy shell Example: electrons in bold Mg = [Ne]3s2 O = [He]2s22p4 Br = [Ar]4s23d104p5 Core electrons: electrons in lower energy shells Chemists have observed that one of the most important factors in the way an atom behaves, both chemically and physically, is the Number of Valence electrons
49
Valence Electrons Rb = 37 electrons = 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s1
the highest principal energy shell that contains electrons is the 5th : 1 valence electron + 36 core electrons Kr = 36 electrons = 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6 the highest principal energy shell that contains electrons is the 4th : 8 valence electrons + 28 core electrons
50
Electrons Configurations and the Periodic Table
51
Electron Configurations from the Periodic Table
Example: Be 2s2 B 2s22p1 C 2s22p2 N 2s22p3 O 2s22p4 Elements in the same period (row) have Valence Electrons in the same principal energy shell. #Valence electrons increases by one from left to right Elements in the same group have the same #valence electron and they are same kind of subshell Example: IIA: Be 2s2 Ca 3s2 Sr 4s2 Ba 5s2 VIIA: F 2s22p5 Cl 3s23p5 Br 4s24p5 I 5s25p5
52
Electron Configuration & the Periodic Table
Elements in the same Group have similar chemical and physical properties their valence shell electron configuration is the same No. Valence electrons for the main group elements is the same as the Group Number Example: Group IA: ns1 ; Group IIIA: ns2np1 Group VIIA: ns2np5

54
Electron Configuration from the Periodic Table
Inner electron configuration = Noble gas of the preceding period Outer electron configuration: from the preceding Noble gas the next period (Subshells) Element the valence energy shell = the period number the d block is always one energy shell below the period number and the f is two energy shells below
55
Electron configuration & Chemical Reactivity
Chemical properties of the elements are largely determined by No. Valence electrons Why elements in groups? Since elements in the same column have the same #valence electrons, they show similar properties
56
Electron Configuration: Noble Gas
Noble gases have 8 valence electrons except for He, which has only 2 electrons Noble gases are especially nonreactive He and Ne are practically inert The reason: the electron configuration of the noble gases is especially stable
57
Everyone Wants to Be Like a Noble Gas! Alkali Metals (Group 1A)
have one more electron than the previous noble gas, [NG]ns1 tend to lose their extra ONE electron, resulting in the same electron configuration as a noble gas forming a cation with a 1+ charge Na Na+ Li Li+
58
Everyone Wants to Be Like a Noble Gas! Halogens (Group 7A)
one fewer electron than the next noble gas: [NG]ns2np5 Reactions with Metals: tend to gain an electron and attain the electron configuration of the next noble gas: [NG]ns2np5 + 1e [NG]ns2np6 forming an anion with charge 1-: Cl Cl- Reactions with Nonmetals: tend to share electrons so that each attains the electron configuration of a noble gas
59
Everyone Wants to Be Like a Noble Gas! Summary
Alkali Metals as a group are the most reactive metals they react with many things and do so rapidly Halogens are the most reactive group of nonmetals one reason for their high reactivity: they are only ONE electron away from having a very stable electron configuration the same as a noble gas
60
Stable Electron Configuration And Ion Charge
Metals: Cations by losing enough electrons to get the same electron configuration as the previous noble gas Nonmetals: Anions by gaining enough electrons to get the same electron configuration as the next noble gas
61
Trends in Atomic Size Increases down a group
valence shell farther from nucleus effective nuclear charge fairly close Decreases across a period (left to right) adding electrons to same valence shell effective nuclear charge increases valence shell held closer
62
Trends in Atomic Size
63
Metallic Character Metals Nonmetals malleable & ductile
shiny, lusterous, reflect light conduct heat and electricity most oxides basic and ionic lose electrons in reactions – oxidized Nonmetals brittle in solid state dull electrical and thermal insulators most oxides are acidic and molecular form anions and polyatomic anions gain electrons in reactions - reduced
64
Trends in Metallic Character
65
Electron Configuration Affects the Size of Atoms and Metallic Character: Within a Group
Within the same Group, from top to bottom: As quantum number n increases for the valence electron(s) valence electron(s) further away from the nucleus Larger Atomic Radius weaker Coulombic force (electrostatic force) withholding valence electrons electrons easier to be lost Stronger metallic character
66
Be (4p+ & 4e-) Mg (12p+ & 12e-) Ca (20p+ & 20e-) Example: Group IIA
67
Electron Configuration Affects the Size of Atoms and Metallic Character: Over the Period
Within the same Period (row), from left to right: Same quantum number n for the valence electron(s) As Nucleus has increasing number of protons (p+) Stronger Coulombic force (electrostatic force) withholding valence electrons Valence Electrons closer the nuclues Smaller Atomic Radius Valence electrons harder to be lost Weaker metallic character
68
Li (3p+ & 3e-) Be (4p+ & 4e-) B (5p+ & 5e-) O (8p+ & 8e-)
Example: Period 2 2e- 1e- 3+ 2e- 4+ 2e- 3e- 5+ Li (3p+ & 3e-) Be (4p+ & 4e-) B (5p+ & 5e-) 6+ 2e- 4e- 8+ 2e- 6e- 10+ 2e- 8e- O (8p+ & 8e-) C (6p+ & 6e-) Ne (10p+ & 10e-)
69
Ionization Energy (IE)
In an atom, electrons (“-” charge) are attracted to the nucleus (“+” charge). Energy is required to remove the electron from an atom. Na + energy Na+ + e- Neutral atom IE Cation Higher IE corresponds to lower Metallic property.
70
Trends in Ionization Energy
Decreases down a group valence shell farther from nucleus effective nuclear charge fairly close Increases across a period (left to right) adding electrons to same valence shell effective nuclear charge increases valence shell held closer
