Study Notes
Atomic Radius Trends
- Rank by increasing atomic radius: carbon < oxygen < aluminium < potassium
- Atomic radius increases down a group due to additional energy levels (shells) being added.
Electronegativity Trends
- Rank by increasing electronegativity: aluminium < sulfur < oxygen < neon
- Nonmetals typically show high ionization energy and high electronegativity, with fluorine exhibiting the highest electronegativity.
Ionization Energy
- Fluorine has a higher ionization energy than iodine because it is located higher on the periodic table.
- The ionization energy of Group 1 elements decreases as elements go from top to bottom due to an increasing radius and shielding effect.
Valence Electrons and Group Properties
- Elements in the same family share similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.
- As elements are observed down Group 2, the number of principal energy levels increases while the number of valence electrons remains constant.
Atomic Structure
- Magnesium has a smaller atomic radius than sodium primarily due to a larger nuclear charge.
- Group 2 elements: total number of valence electrons for calcium and strontium is the same.
Electron Configurations
- A transition metal is classified as an element with a partially filled d sublevel in its ground state.
- Example of electron configuration for transition element: [Ar] 4s² 3d⁵.
Periodic Table Trends
- Elements in Period 5 with transition elements include silver (Ag).
- The largest atomic radius among selected elements: K (potassium).
- Noble gas with the highest first ionization energy: helium.
- Decreasing atomic radii order: Al > Si > P.
- Group 2 elements arranged by increasing atomic radius: Be < Mg < Ca.
General Properties
- As atomic number increases in Group 15, atomic radius increases.
- Electronegativities of group elements: Group 17 element with least attraction for electrons is iodine (I).
- Group 16 element with greatest tendency to gain electrons is oxygen (O).
Chemical Bonding
- The strength of an atom's attraction for electrons in a chemical bond is termed electronegativity.
- Relative electronegativity and covalent radius increase successively from lithium (Li) to fluorine (F).
Family Characteristics
- All elements in Group 16 share the same number of valence electrons.
- First ionization energy for Group 1 elements generally increases in relation to decreasing atomic radius.
Key Element Identification
- Group 17 element with the highest electronegativity is fluorine.
- Identification of halogen family member: I (iodine).
