Periodic Table
AP Chemistry, Unit 7
7.1: explain how the trends in the Periodic Table
are influenced by effective nuclear charge,
including: atomic/ionic radii, ionization energy, and
electron affinity.
7.2: identify the groups/ regions of the P.T. with
Development of the Periodic
Table
• In 1869 Dmitri Mendeleev originally arranged the periodic
table according to atomic mass and element properties.
• Strangely enough, it’s been shown that Lothar Meyer
conceived of the periodic table around the EXACT same time period that Mendeleev did…
• Mendeleev was able to make predictions about missing
(undiscovered) elements and their properties.
• Modern P Table is now organized by:
-Atomic Number (# of P+)
-Electron configurations (s, p, d, f –blocks)

Effective Nuclear Charge
• Almost all periodic table properties and trends correlate to the ENC
experienced by an elements valence electrons.
• In a multi-electron atom, electrons are both attracted to the nucleus and repelled by other electrons. • The nuclear charge that an
electron experiences (Effective Nuclear Charge) depends on two factors:
-How many protons in the nucleus -How many core electrons are
Effective Nuclear Charge
• The effective nuclear charge, Zeff,
can be mathematically approximated as:
Zeff = Z − S
• where
Z is the atomic number = # protons
Now you try…
• Calculate the effective nuclear charge of a valence electron in sodium, magnesium, phosphorous, chlorine, and argon.
Zeff = Z − S
Na = 11 – 10 = +1 Mg = 12 – 10 = +2 P = 15 – 10 = +5 Cl = 17 – 10 = +7 Ar = 18 – 10 = +8
So, ENC increases from left to right across periodic table and increases slightly from bottom to top.
Notice that the # of
core electrons remains constant (at -10) as
the # of protons
increases across a row.
NOTE: You would not notice a mathematical change in zeff down a column but it does
Group
Properties of Metal, Nonmetals,
and Metalloids
Valence e- in metals
experience low ENC so they can give up
electrons easily
Valence e- in
non-metals experience high ENC so the electrons
cannot leave easily.
They both want an
octet... So metals tend to give electrons to
Metals versus Nonmetals
Thus,
• Metals tend to form cations.
Metals
Tend to be:• Lustrous (shiny)
• Malleable (will bend on impact, not break)
• Ductile (can be made into wire) • Good conductors of heat and
electricity.
• Solid at room temp (except Hg)
• Metal oxides tend to be basic
Nonmetals
Tend to be:
• Dull (not shiny)
• Brittle (break/crack/crumble on impact)
• Poor conductors of heat and electricity
• Tend to be liquid/gas at room temp
Metalloids
• Have some
characteristics of metals, some of nonmetals.
• For instance, silicon looks
Group IA: Alkali Metals
• Soft, metallic solids.• Name comes from Arabic word
for ashes.
• EXTREMELY REACTIVE
• Found only as compounds in
nature. (too reactive to exist)
• Have low densities and melting
points.
• Also have low ENC valence
Alkali Metals
Their reactions with water are famously exothermic and also produce flammable hydrogen gas…
Excess heat + hydrogen = BOOM!

Alkali Metals
• Alkali metals (except Li) react with
oxygen to form peroxides.
• K, Rb, and Cs also form superoxides: K + O2 KO2
Group IIA: Alkaline Earth Metals
• Harder metals (but still softer than transition metals) • Have higher densities and melting points than alkali
metals.
Alkaline Earth Metals
• Be does not react withwater, Mg reacts only with steam, but others react readily with water.
• Will also oxidize when
heated.
• Reactivity tends to
Group VIIA: Halogens
• Prototypical nonmetals (display non-metal properties
well)
Group VIIA: Halogens
• EXTREMELY REACTIVE
• LARGE ENC
• Therefore, tend to oxidize (take
e- from) other elements easily
• React directly with metals to form metal halides
• “Putrid” colors of green,
brown, purple, and so forth.
• With 7 valence e-, forms
Group VIIIA: Noble Gases
• HIGHEST ENC in valence electron (+8) • Complete octet = very inert (unreactive) • Monatomic gases at room temp
• Generate visible spectra light when
Group VIIIA: Noble Gases
• Xe forms threecompounds:
• XeF2
• XeF4 (at right) • XeF6
• Kr forms only one stable compound:
• KrF2

Sizes of Atoms
•
Determining the exact
radius of an atoms
electron cloud can be
challenging…
•
The bonding atomic
radius is defined as
one-half of the distance
between covalently
Sizes of Atoms
Bonding atomic radius tends to…
• Decrease (get smaller) from left to right across a row
• Due to increasing Zeff, e-
cloud is pulled in closer.
• Decreases from bottom to top of a column. Again, due to slight increase in Zeff
• E.g. the higher the Zeff the
Sizes of Ions
• Ionic size depends upon:
• Nuclear charge.
• Number of electrons.
• Orbitals in which electrons

Cations are smaller
than their parent
atoms.

Sizes of Ions
•
Anions are larger than
their parent atoms.
• Electrons are added to valence shell.
• Repulsion of valence shell with core shell dominates.
Sizes of Ions
•
Ions increase in size as
you go down a column.

Due to increasing
numbers of energy levels.

• Isoelectric series: a series of ions with the same number of
electrons.
Ionization Energy
•
Amount of energy required to remove an
electron from the ground state of a
gaseous atom or ion.
•
First ionization energy is the energy required
to
remove first electron from the valence
energy level.
•
Second ionization energy is that energy
Ionization Energy
• It requires more energy to remove each successive electron.

•
As one goes down a
column, less energy is
required to remove the

Generally, as one
goes across a row, it
gets harder to

two apparent

The first occurs
between Groups IIA
and IIIA. Why?

more exothermic as you go from left to right across a row. • So they release

Trends in Electron Affinity
• The first occurs between
Groups IA and IIA.
• Added electron must go
in p-orbital, not s-orbital.
• Electrons must pair in
S-orbital for group 2 metals. This is less stable due to 1st e-
repelling.

• The second occursbetween Groups IVA and VA.
• Group VA has no empty orbitals.
• Extra electron must
go into occupied orbital, creating repulsion.
