Study Notes
Periodic Table and Electronic Configuration
- The periodic table classifies elements based on their atomic structure.
- The basis for classification is the atomic structure of elements.
- Atomic structure, through experiments and assumptions, forms the basis of understanding elements.
Electronic Configuration
- Electrons orbit the nucleus in shells, with each shell having sub-shells or orbitals (s, p, d, f).
- The maximum number of electrons that can occupy an orbital is 2.
- s sub-shells have 1 orbital; p sub-shells have 3 orbitals, d sub-shells have 5 orbitals, and f sub-shells have 7 orbitals.
- Each sub-shell has a specific shape and a fixed energy level.
- Electronic configurations are written in increasing order of energy levels, starting from 1s.
- The first shell, 'K', has one subshell. The second shell, 'L', has 2; the third shell, 'M', has 3; and the fourth shell, 'N', has 4 subshells.
Relation Between Electronic Configuration and Periodic Table
- The electronic configuration of an element helps determine its position in the periodic table.
- The outermost shell's electrons influence the element's properties.
- Elements with similar electronic configurations are grouped together in the periodic table.
Filling of Electrons in Subshells
- Electrons fill orbitals or subshells in order of increasing energy levels.
- The filling order is 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, etc.
- Subshells with lower energy levels are filled first.
- The maximum number of electrons that each subshell (s, p, d, f) can hold is indicated in the table.
Peculiarities of Chromium and Copper Electronic Configurations
- The stable electronic configuration of Chromium (Cr) is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁵ 4s¹. This is due to the greater stability of half-filled d orbitals.
- Similar to chromium, Copper (Cu) has an unusual electronic configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s¹. This is again due to the stability of completely filled d orbitals.
Characteristic properties of S block elements
- S-block elements are alkali metals and alkaline earth metals.
- They typically donate electrons in chemical reactions.
- Their oxides and hydroxides are basic.
- They usually have a low ionisation energy
Characteristic properties of P block elements
- P block elements show a wider range of properties and include nonmetals, metalloids, and some metals.
- They have higher ionization energy compared to S-block elements.
- They exhibit various oxidation states, as they can gain or lose electrons.
Characteristic properties of D block elements
- D block elements are also known as transition elements.
- These elements are metals.
- Transition elements often exhibit variable oxidation states.
- These elements are typically good conductors of heat and electricity.
Characteristic Properties of F Block elements
- F block elements include lanthanoids and actinoids.
- The electrons in the penultimate shell are filled in these elements.
- These elements exhibit multiple variables in their oxidation states similar to D block elements.
