6th Period
Review Questions:
1) Who originally organized the elements into what later became the periodic table? 2) What property did he use to organize the periodic table? 3) How are the elements on the periodic table arranged now? 4) How do you find the number of valence electrons for representative elements? 5) How can you tell which elements are metals and which are non-metals?
does not include H soft, silver-white and shiny metals very reactive (explosive with water)
react with oxygen react with water at high temperatures characteristic flame colors
include Rare Earth Elements - all are radioactive (89-112) Form very colorful compounds (gems!)
Groups 13-16 all vary greatly in physical and chemical properties because they include metals, metalloids, and non-metals
very abundant elements (N and P) and relatively rare elements (As, Sb, Bi)
tend to form covalent compounds tend to be diatomic (2 atoms) and polyatomic (many atoms), such as O2, O3, S6, S8 and Se8
VERY reactive Most are poisonous gases atoms are never alone - diatomic
colorless gases all monatomic (1 atom) full valence shell = unreactive and stable
Periodic Trends
(a.k.a. Periodicity) Properties of atoms that can be predicted by patterns on the periodic table.
Atomic Radius
the SIZE of an atom from nucleus to outer energy level
More energy levels (bottom) = larger radius or size Atoms with more p+ (right) are smaller because positive charge attracts e- more
Metallic Character
1 IA 1 2 IIA 13 IIIA 14 IVA 15 VA 16 VIA 17 VIIA 18 VIIIA
Nonmetals
Metals
Metallic Character
Metallic character means an atom tends to give up electrons easily Atoms with fewer valence e- (left) want to lose them to get an octet Larger atoms (bottom) lose e- more easily because p+ in nucleus are farther away.
Electronegativity
The ability of an atom to attract and hold an extra electron (how greedy atom is for e-) Atoms that are small (top) can attract eeasier since nucleus is closer Atoms with ALMOST full valence shells (right) really want more e- to be stable/happy
Electronegativity Trend
Ionization Energy
The energy needed to remove an electron from an atom (a.k.a. to make the atom an ion) More electronegative = harder to remove an electron = higher ionization energy
Ionization Energy
Reactivity
Determined by position on the table: Metals: most metallic character Non-metals: most electronegativity
Review Questions:
1) How do energy levels determine size? 2) Which element probably has the most metallic character? 3) Which is the largest? 4) Why does it take more energy to remove an electron from F than it does to remove an e- from Cs? 5) Pair up the trends according to their similarity (look at arrows!).
Ions
Ions are atoms that have gained or lost an electron Gain an electron = get more negative Lose an electron = get more positive
Energy Levels
The electron cloud is divided into energy levels The farther away an electron is from the nucleus, the higher its energy level The first energy level is the closest to the nucleus
Energy levels
The first energy level holds two electrons The second energy level has 8 electrons The third energy level has 18 electrons The forth energy level has 32 electrons
Energy sublevels
Its important to know that energy levels can overlap to form sublevels In fact, each energy level is subdivided into regions called electron orbitals
Valence Electrons
Valence electrons are the electrons found in the outermost energy level of the atom Valence electrons are responsible for forming chemical bonds
Valence electrons
The maximum number of valence electrons an atom can have is 8 Exception: the first energy level has only 2 electrons
Octets
When an atom has eight valence electrons it has an octet Octets are chemically stable Atoms want to be stable, so they will gain, lose or share electrons to have an octet (BONDING)
Bohr Models
Niels Bohr proposed that electrons circle (orbit) the nucleus like planets orbit the sun. We now know that this is not true.
How to draw a Bohr model: 1. Protons and neutrons go in the middle. Write the number of each, with symbols this is the nucleus 2 . Each energy level is represented by a circle around the nucleus 3. Electrons are put on the appropriate energy level and are written in with their symbol, e-
Lithium Sodium Potassium Caesium Beryllium Magnesiu m Calcium Barium Aluminum Silver Zinc
Li + Na + K + Cs 2+ Be 2+ Mg 2+ Ca 2+ Ba 3+ Al + Ag 2+ Zn
H F Cl Br I 2 O 2 S 3 N 3 P
Electron Configuration
Electron Configuration
The electron configuration is notation which shows how the electrons are distributed among atomic orbitals and energy levels. Example:
2 1s
Helium
Decoding
2 1s
"1" = principle quantum number "n" which stands for the energy level. "s" = angular momentum quantum number l it tells us that heliums electrons are in an s orbital "2" = total number of electrons in that orbital or sub-shell.
