The Periodic Table• On March 6th 1869 Dmitri Mendeleev, a Russian chemist,
published his Periodic Table of the Elements. He arranged the known elements in order of increasing atomic masses. This was eventually changed to atomic number.
• Elements with similar chemical properties were arranged in groups. He left gaps for elements yet to be discovered
• In the years that followed his ideas were modified and new elements were discovered until we arrived at the modern Periodic Table.

Trends in the Periodic TableThe elements in the periodic table have different properties
The table is set up in such a way that these properties vary periodically
across a period,
or down a group
The properties are both physical and chemical
The chemical properties of an element stem from its physical properties:
Density, melting points and boiling points, atomic size, ionisation enthalpy, attraction for bonding electrons

After discussion with your group, make sure you can identify where all the following groupings are in the Periodic Table and what their properties are. Mark these on the periodic table handout and stick it into your notebook. Metals Non-metals Alkali metals

The melting and boiling points of elements give an indication of the forces that hold the atoms or molecules together
The higher the melting and boiling point the stronger the forces
The trend is similar for both melting and boiling so we’ll just look at melting
Melting and Boiling points
Notes:There are variations in the physical properties of the elements
across a period and down a group.(i) Density• Copy and complete the table below for the first twenty
elements, using the information in the data booklet.
• What do all the elements in Group A have in common?• What do all the elements in Group B have in common?• How does the density of the elements change across a period?• How does the density of the elements change down a group?

Variation of density (g cm-3) with atomic numberAdapted from New Higher Chemistry E Allan J Harris
down a group gives an overall increase in density
Notes:(ii) Melting and boiling points• Using the information in the data booklet, how do the meltingand boiling points of the elements change across a period?• What is the trend in melting and boiling points down Group 1?• What is the trend in melting and boiling points down Group 7 and
Group 0?
05/09/2017
• The melting point starts off low, gradually increases to a peak (at group 4) then gradually decreases to a very low value (at group 0 or 8)
• To explain this trend we must think about the strength of the forces between the molecules
• In group 1 the atoms are held together by metallic bonds• In group 4 the atoms are held together by many very strong covalent bonds
(covalent network)• In group 8 the atoms are held together by very weak bonds (monatomic
gases)• We will look at the different types of bonding later in the unit

Demo 1.6
1. Metallic Bondinge.g. Li, Na, K, Be, Mg, Ca, Al
• Strong electrostatic forces exist between the positive nuclei and the outer shell electrons.
• These electrostatic attractions are known as metallic bonds.
Positive nucleus (core)Delocalised electron
+ + + +
+ + + +
• The outer shell in metals is not full and so metal electrons can move between these partially filled outer shells.
• This creates what is sometimes called a ‘sea’ or ‘cloud’ of delocalised electrons.
Physical properties of metals1. Metals are malleable and ductile
2. Conduction of electricity
Metal atoms can ‘slip’ past each other because the metallic bond is not fixed and it acts in all directions.
The ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons can move and carry the charge+
applied force
M.p.’s are relatively low compared to the B.P’s. This is because in a molten metal the metallic bonding is still present.B.p.’s are much higher as you need to break the metallic bonds throughout the metal lattice.
3. Change of state
Metal b.p.’s are dependant on(i) How many electrons are in the outer shell(ii) How many electron shells there are.
2. Covalent Networks
Giant lattice of covalently bonded atoms.e.g. B, C, SiGiant molecules held together by covalent bonds, resulting in high mpt and bpt.
Boron: M.pt.= 2573K= 2300oCSilicon: M.pt.= 1683K= 1410oC
Model 1.8
Two Forms of Carbon
1. Graphite (covalent network)
Weak Van der Waals forces between layers
Strong covalent bonds between atoms
• 3 electrons from each C atom used in bonding.
• 1 electron from each C is delocalised so graphite conducts electricity.
• Stacked hexagonal layers of C atoms with only weak Van der Waals between layers so layers can slip and slide- graphite is soft and can be used as a lubricant.
2. Diamond (covalent network)• Hardest natural substance à very strong covalent
bonds.• Electrical insulator (no delocalised electrons)-all outer
electrons are localised in covalent bonds.• Tetrahedrally bonded carbon atoms
We will discuss the 3rd form of
carbon later
3. Discrete Covalent Molecules• These molecules have known numbers of
atoms (discrete molecules).e.g. Oxygen M.pt.= 55K= -218oC
Sulphur M.pt.= 386K= 113oC
• Low Mpts indicate that weak Van der Waals forces are present.
a) Diatomic molecules
H – H O = ON ≡ NF – FCl – Cl
Remember HON 7!
à All gases due to weak Van der Waals forces.
Diatomic
b) P and S
Covalent solids held together by Van der Waals which are stronger due to higher molecular masses.
c) Carbonà Buckminster Fullerene• Very large, C60.
4. MonatomicGroup 8 elements e.g. He, Ne, Ar
Non-bonded atoms. Only weak Van der Waals forces between atoms.
Noble gases have full outer shells, they do not need to combine with other atoms.
Noble gases
b.p / oC
B.p.’s increase as the size of the atom increasesThis happens because the Van der Waals forces increase

Covalent Radii of ElementsThe size of an atom is measured by it’s covalent radius, the distance between the nucleus and it’s outer electrons.
Values for covalent radii can be found in the data book

covalent radius
Looking down a group
The single electron in the outermost energy level is much further from the nucleus in caesium.

This causes the caesium atom to have a much larger covalent radius.
The caesium atom also has many more electrons between the single outer electron and the nucleus.
This screening effect counteracts the attraction from the greater nuclear charge.

level in closer.

Atomic Size Summary
Decreasing Atomic Size
Across a period from left to right atomic size decreases
This is because of the atom having more electrons & protons and therefore a greater attraction which pulls the atom closer together hence the smaller size.

Down a group atomic size increases
This is because of the extra outer energy levels and the screening effect of the outer electrons.

Ionisation Energy
The ionisation energy is the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of atoms in the
gaseous state.
The first ionisation energy of magnesium:
Mg (g) Mg+ (g) + e- 744 kJmol-1
Values for ionisation energies can be found in the data book
Ionisation Energy
The third ionisation enthalpy shows a massive increase because it requires an electron to be removed from magnesium’s second energy level.
Mg2+ (g) Mg3+ (g) + e- 7750 kJmol-1
Mg+ (g) Mg2+ (g) + e- 1460 kJmol-1
The second ionisation energy of magnesium:

2. Screening Effect
Ionisation Energy Summary
Increasing Ionisation Energy
Across a period from left to right ionisation energy increases
This is due to the increase in atomic charge having a greater pull on the electrons and therefore more energy is required to remove electrons.
Ionisation Energy SummaryD
ecre
asin
g Io
nisa
tion
Ene
rgy
Down a group ionisation energy decreases
This is due to the outer electrons being further away from the nucleus and so the attraction is weaker and they are more easily removed.
Increasing Ionisation Energy
Atomic SizeThe atomic size is just like it sounds, the size of an atom
The covalent radius is defined as half the distance between the centres of covalently bonded atoms
The size of an atom will depend on two things:
The number of energy levels
The nuclear charge pulling the electrons in
Atomic SizeAcross a period from left to right the atomic size decreases. Down a group the atomic size increases from top to bottom.
Why?
Across a period an increasing nuclear charge (+) pulls the outer electrons (-) closer in towards the nucleus
Down a group there is an increase in the number of energy levels surrounding the nucleus
Ionisation EnthalpiesIonisation enthalpy is the quantity of energy required to remove 1 mole of electrons from 1 mole of atoms in the gaseous state.
ie. The energy required to remove an electron from an atom e.g.
Mg(g)
Mg+(g) + e-
What would affect the ionisation enthalpy?
How much attraction the outer electrons feel from the nucleus
Ionisation EnthalpiesAcross a period ionisation enthalpy increases from left to right
Down a group the first ionisation enthalpy decreases from top to bottom
What affects how much nuclear charge an electron feels?
Across a period increase in nuclear charge and decrease of atomic size makes it more difficult to remove an electron
Down a group there is a shielding (or screening) effect from the extra energy levels, and increased distance from the nucleus makes it easier to remove an electron
The first ionisation enthalpy is large for noble gases
There is a very large increase in ionisation enthalpy after the ion has achieved the noble gas configuration
Why?
It requires considerably more energy to remove an electron from a completely full shell (very stable) which is nearer the nucleus
Ionisation Enthalpies
Ionisation Enthalpies
The 1st ionisation energy is the energy needed to remove the first mole of electrons and the 2nd ionisation energy is the energy needed to remove the second mole of electrons, etc.
e.g. the ionisation energies for magnesium are:
1st Mg(g) à Mg+(g) + e- ∆H= 744 kJmol-12nd Mg+(g) à Mg2+(g) + e- ∆H= 1460 kJmol-13rd Mg2+(g) à Mg3+(g) + e- ∆H= 7750 kJmol-1
Why the big jump from 2nd to 3rd ionisation energy for Mg?
Ionisation EnthalpiesThere is a large jump in ionisation energy when the electron to be removed
comes from a new shell, closer to the nucleus.
ExamplesUse your Data Book to calculate the energy required for the following changes:
a) Ca(g) à Ca2+(g) + 2e-
b) Al(g) à Al3+(g) + 3e-
• The total energy to remove more than 1 mole of electrons is equal to the sum of each mole added together (as above).

Periodic Trends in Electronegativity05/09/2017
•I can explain the effect of electronegativity on electrons in a covalent bond.•I can describe, using a data book, the change in electronegativity down a group.• I can use atomic size and nuclear charge to explain the change in electronegativity across a period.•I can use atomic size and screening effect to explain the change in electronegativity down a group.
Electronegativity
Electronegativity is a measure of an atom’s attraction for the shared pair of electrons in a bond
e
eC H
Which atom would have a greater attraction for the electrons in this bond and why?
Linus PaulingLinus Pauling, an American chemist (and winner of two Nobel prizes!) came up with the concept of electronegativity in 1932 to help explain the nature of chemical bonds.
Today we still measure electronegativities of elements using the Pauling scale.
Since fluorine is the most electronegative element (has the greatest attraction for the bonding electrons) he assigned it a value and compared all other elements to fluorine.
Values for electronegativity can be found in the data book
ElectronegativitiesLooking across a row or down a group of the periodic table we can see a trend in values.
We can explain these trends by applying the same reasoning used for ionisation energies.
Looking across a periodIncreasing Electronegativity

Down a group electronegativity decreases
Atoms have a bigger radius (more electron shells)
The positive charge of the nucleus is further away from the bonding electrons and is shielded by the extra electron shells.
What are the electronegativities of
these halogens?
Attraction for bonding electronsDifferent elements have different attractions for bonded electrons
The relative ability of an element to attract electrons is called its Electronegativity
Those elements that require just one or two electrons to fill an energy level can attract electrons more easily
Electronegativity values increase across a period from LtoR
Electronegativity values decrease down a group
Therefore the most electronegative element is Fluorine
The smaller the atom the easier it is to capture an electron since they will feel a greater “pull” from the nucleus

Compounds formed between a metal and a non-metal are ionic”.
Electronegativity & Bonding
The difference in the ability of elements to attract electrons tells us about the type of bonding we can expect between them
No difference = pure covalent bonding
Small difference (<1.5) = polar covalent bonding
Large difference (>1.5) = ionic bonding
