Study Notes
Introduction to Periodic Classification
- Periodicity refers to the recurring properties of elements at fixed intervals.
- Elements with similar characteristics are grouped, forming the foundation of the periodic table.
Importance of Classifying Elements
- Currently, there are 118 known elements, with ongoing discoveries necessitating organization.
- Classification groups elements with similar properties, facilitating study and understanding.
History of Classification
- Early classification focused on groups, such as Dobernier's Triads, where elements with similar properties were categorized in threes based on atomic mass.
- Examples:
- Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K): Na = 23 u derived from the average of Li and K.
- Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), Barium (Ba): Sr = 88.5 u derived from the average of Ca and Ba.
- Chlorine (Cl), Bromine (Br), Iodine (I): Br = 81.2 u derived from the average of Cl and I.
Newlands' Law of Octaves
- Proposed by John Newlands in 1865, this law suggested that every eighth element shares properties when arranged by increasing atomic weight.
- Limitations:
- Incorrect placements of elements like Calcium and Potassium.
- Failed to account for new elements; only 56 elements were included, with no prediction of future discoveries.
- Inflexibility in classifying newly discovered noble gases.
Mendeleev's Periodic Table
- Developed by Dmitri Mendeleev, it grouped 63 elements based on periodic properties related to atomic mass.
- Organized into groups (vertical) and periods (horizontal), with a total of 9 groups and 7 periods.
- Successfully predicted the existence and properties of undiscovered elements like Gallium and Germanium, referred to as Eka aluminium and Eka silicon.
Achievements of Mendeleev's Table
- Enhanced systematic study and memorization of elements.
- Corrected atomic masses, notably of Beryllium.
- Predicted properties of new elements; left gaps for undiscovered ones.
Challenges with Mendeleev's Table
- Misplaced hydrogen, which shares properties with both alkali metals and halogens.
- Incorrect ordering of Cobalt (Co) and Nickel (Ni).
- Isotopes wrongly placed in different locations despite having the same atomic number.
- Lanthanoids and actinoids were positioned outside the main table.
Modern Periodic Law
- Mosley's discovery in 1913 linked atomic number to x-ray spectra.
- Established atomic number as the fundamental property over atomic mass, leading to a more accurate periodic arrangement.
Nomenclature of Elements with Atomic Numbers >100
- Unique prefixes denote quantities from 0 to 9.
- Example: Ununpentium (Uup) for atomic number 115.
Long Form of the Periodic Table
Atomic No. | S-Block | Alkaline Earth | Metals D-Block | Transition Elements |
---|---|---|---|---|
Alkali Metal | ||||
F-Block | ||||
Lanthanoids | ||||
Actinoids |
S-Block Elements
- Comprised of groups 1 and 2, consisting of highly reactive elements.
- General electronic configuration: ns1-2; good conductors of heat and electricity.
P-Block Elements
- Contains elements whose last electron enters the p-subshell (ns2np1-6).
- Includes groups 13 to 18:
- Pnictogens (Group 15)
- Chalcogens (Group 16)
- Halogens (Group 17)
- Noble gases (Group 18)
D-Block and F-Block Elements
- D-Block: Last electron enters d-subshell, characterized by high melting points, variable oxidation states, and often paramagnetic properties.
- F-Block: Contains lanthanides and actinides, generally heavy metals, with high boiling points and often radioactive qualities.
Periodicity in Properties
Atomic Radius
- Defined as the distance from the nucleus to the outer electron shell.
- Increases down a group due to additional electron shells.
- Decreases across a period due to increasing nuclear charge pulling electrons closer.
Types of Atomic Radii
- Covalent Radius: Half the internuclear distance in covalent bonds (example: 37 pm).
Changes in Atomic Radius with Charge
- Cations: Formation reduces electron count, decreasing atomic size.
- Anions: Formation increases electron count, leading to greater size due to increased repulsion.
These key points summarize the periodic classification of elements and the trends in their properties, providing a foundational understanding for further studies in chemistry.
