1. Periodic Table Why Periodic????
The properties of the elements repeat in in a periodic way.
Invaluable tool for chemistry
Used for organization

2. The Basics Elements are arranged by atomic number
Typical box contains:
Name of the element
Symbol
Atomic number
Atomic mass

3. Periods Horizontal Rows
Numbered 1-7

4. Groups: Vertical Columns
Numbered 1-18

5. Interactive Periodic Tables

6. The Families of Elements

7. Classification of the Elements
Metals Nonmetals Metalloids

8. Occupy the left side of the periodic table Have luster, shiny
Metals
Occupy the left side of the periodic table
Have luster, shiny
Solids at room temp except Hg
Ductile: ability to be drawn into wires
Malleable: ability to be hammered into sheets
Excellent conductors of heat and electricity
Tend to form positive ions

9. Occupy the right side of the Periodic Table
NonMetals
Occupy the right side of the Periodic Table
Generally gases or brittle solids
Dull-looking
Brittle
Poor conductors of heat and electricity
Bromine is the only liquid at room temp
Tend to form negative ions

10. Metalloids
Characteristics of metals and nonmetals

11. Classification of the Elements
Families of elements share the same ending electron configuration
therefore they share similar chemical characteristics
Valence Electrons: electrons in the highest principal energy level
Determine Chemical reactivity
Elements in a group share the same number of valence electrons

12. The s, p, d and f blocks

13. Number of Valence Electrons
Elements on the right
Nonmetals
4 or more valence electrons
tend to gain electrons
become negative ions
Elements on the left
Metals
3 or less valence electrons
tend to lose valence electrons
form positive ions

14. Families of elements
Elements of the same family (group) share structural and chemical (behavioral) characteristics
Alkali Metals
Alkaline Earth Metals
Transition Elements
Halogens
Nobel Gases

15. Group 1: Alkali Metals Soft, highly reactive metals
Usually stored under oil or kerosene to prevent their interaction with air and water

16. Properties of Alkali Metals
React vigorously with water
Oxidize readily in air
Good conductors of electricity

17. Alkali Metals Have one valence electron
Will lose this electron very easily
when electron is lost the metal gains a stable non-reactive noble gas configuration
Comparison of the Reactivity of the Alkali Metals

18. Group 2: Alkaline Earth Metals
Harder, denser, stronger, and have higher melting points than alkali metals
All are reactive not as reactive as group 1

19. Alkaline Earth Metals
Must lose two electrons to gain a stable configuration

20. Groups 3-12:Transition Metals
Not as reactive as Groups 1 and 2
Huge variety but all shiny
Multi valent…form multiple ions
d-block elements
Also include: Inner Transition Elements (Rare Earth Elements)
Elements Lanthanides
Elements Actinides

21. Group 17: Halogens Most reactive non-metals
Combine easily with metals; especially the alkali metals

22. Halogens 7 valence electrons, one short of a stable octet.
Will gain one electron to become stable
-1 ions
Reaction of chlorine (a halogen) with sodium (an alkali metal)

23. Element Dating

24. Hydrogen Most common element in the universe
Chemical family by itself because it behaves so differently
Reacts with most other elements
Rarely found in a free state in nature
1 valence electron

25. The Hindenberg Filled with H Very reactive with oxygen gas
He used in blimps today
much less reactive than H

26. Group 18: Noble Gases Very low reactivity
Filled valence shells: s and p levels in the highest principal energy levels are full
Very stable electron configuration
Many uses: signs, weather balloons and the airships (Blimps)

27. The Octet Rule
Atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons in order to acquire a full set of eight valence electrons.
Elements on the left (metals) tend to lose valence electrons and form positive ions
Elements on the right (nonmetals) tend to gain electrons to become negative ions

29. Periodic Trends
Properties of Elements tend to occur in a predictable way
Known as a trend, as you move across a period or down a group
Knowing element trends allows us to make predictions about an element’s behavior

How does it vary down a group?
Properties
Atomic Radius
Ionic Radius
Electronegativity
Ionization Energy

31. Atomic Radius
For elements that occur as molecules, the atomic radius is half the distance between nuclei of identical atoms.

32. Atomic Radius The atomic radius is a measure of the size of an atom.
The larger the radius, the larger is the atom.

33. Trends in Atomic Radius
There is a general decrease in atomic radius from left to right, caused by increasing positive charge in the nucleus.
Valence electrons are not shielded from the increasing nuclear charge because no additional electrons come between the nucleus and the valence electrons.

34. Trends in Atomic Radius
The atomic radius decreases as you move across a period
Why?
Increased nuclear charge pulls the electrons in tighter
Added electrons are in the same principal energy levels

35. Group Trends in Atomic Radius
Atomic Radius increases as you move down a group
Why?
The increasing number of electrons are in higher energy levels and instead of pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus we see the …

36. Atomic Radius

37. Atomic radius generally increases as you move down a group.
The outermost orbital size increases down a group, making the atom larger.

38. Shielding Effect
More inner electrons shield the outer electron from the nucleus and reduce their attraction to the nucleus therefore the overall atomic radius is larger

39. For any element (A) the process of removing an electron can be represented as follows:
A + energy -----> A+ + e-
What is the periodic trend in ionization energy? Why?

40. Trends for Ionization Energy
Generally increases as you move across a period
because increased nuclear charge causes an increased hold on the electrons
Ionization Energy decreases as you move down a group
due to increasing atomic size

42. Successive Ionization Energies
There is an ionization energy for each electron that is removed from an atom
After the valence electrons are removed Ionization Energies Jump Dramatically
First Ionization Energy: removes 1 electron
Second Ionization Energy: removes a second electron
Third Ionization Energy: removes a third electron

43. Comparing Successive Ionization Energies

44. Trends in Ionization Energy

45. Electronegativity
The ability of an an atom to attract electrons to itself when it is combined with another atom
Expressed in terms of a relative scale: fluorine is assigned a value of 4 and all other elements are calculated relative to this.
The units of electronegativity are arbitrary units called Paulings.
Noble gases have no values because of few chemical compounds

46. Electronegativity Greater the electronegativity
the higher an atom’s ability to pull an electron to itself when it is bonded to another atom
What are the periodic trends in electronegativity?
Why?

47. Trends in Electronegativity
Electronegativity Increases as you move across a period
Electronegativity decreases you move down a group
