  1. Slide 20 / 102 The Periodic Law and Atomic Radii Let's examine the trend in atomic radii for the first 18 elements. Na 200 Li radius (pm) 100 H Ar Ne He 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 atomic number We clearly see two trends! 1. As atomic number increases down a group, the radii increase. H < Li < Na 2. As atomic number increases across a period, the radii decrease. Li > Be > B > C > N > O > F > Ne

  2. Slide 21 / 102 The Periodic Law and Atomic Radii The distance the electrons can be from the nucleus is governed by Coulomb's law of attraction. The greater the charge, the greater the attraction between the charges, and the shorter the distance. As atomic number increases across a period, so does the nuclear charge (Z) resulting in a greater attraction and a smaller distance between the nucleus and the outermost electrons. Carbon (Z=6) Neon (Z=10) Lithium (Z=3) radii = 67 pm radii = 38 pm radii = 167 pm **Note: The size of an atom is NOT determined by the size of the nucleus. It is the electron cloud that contains most of the volume of an atom and therefore determines the radii.

  3. Slide 22 / 102 The Periodic Law and Atomic Radii Why don't the radii continue to get smaller as the atomic number and nuclear charge increase. The quantum model explains why. Hydrogen (Z=1) 1s 1 radii = 53 pm Only a certain number of electrons are permitted within Lithium (Z=3) a given energy level, so 1s 2 2s 1 additional ones must be radii = 167 pm added to higher energy levels farther from the nucleus. Sodium (Z=11) 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 1 radii = 190 pm The core electrons shield the valence electrons from the nucleus thus diminishing the coulombic attraction and increasing the atomic radii.

  4. Slide 23 / 102 The Periodic Law and Ionic Radii When electrons are gained or lost, the effect on the radii can be dramatic or slight but there are some certainties. If an atom gains If an atom loses electrons, the radii will electrons, the radii will increase. decrease. F + e - --> F - Ca --> Ca 2+ + 2e- 42 pm 136 pm 194 pm 99 pm When electrons are gained, When electrons are lost, the the nuclear charge is spread remaining electrons feel a over a larger number of stronger coulombic electrons, resulting in a attraction from the nucleus. weaker coulombic attraction.

  5. Slide 24 / 102 The Periodic Law and Ionic Radii Let's rank a series of atoms and ions in order of increasing radii. Al 3+ Al Mg Mg 2+ Whenever comparing radii, use the following procedure: 1. Determine the energy level of the atom/ion. 2. For atoms in the same energy level, use the nuclear charge (Z) to determine the radii. Al 3+ Al Mg Mg 2+ Energy Level 2 3 3 2 "Z" 13 13 12 12 Al 3+ < Mg 2+ < Al < Mg radius (pm) 50 < 65 < 118 < 145

  6. Slide 25 / 102 The Periodic Law and Ionic Radii Recall that in an isoelectronic series, the atoms/ions have the same number of electrons. In this case, Na + , Mg 2+ , Al 3+ , O 2- , and F - are all isoelectronic with Ne. As a result, they all experience the same core shielding. The ionic radii then decreases with an increasing nuclear charge. Al 3+ < Mg 2+ < Na + < F - < O 2- Z = 13 12 11 9 8

  7. Slide 26 / 102 The Periodic Law and Ionic Radii Let's try a few more together. 1. Explain why Si has an atomic radii of 111 pm while C has an atomic radii of 67 pm despite Si having a higher nuclear charge (Z)? Si has an additional energy level, so the valence move for answer electrons are farther away and more shielded than those of C resulting in a smaller coulombic attraction.

  8. Slide 27 / 102 The Periodic Law and Ionic Radii Let's try a few more together. 2. Explain why iron (Fe) has a smaller atomic radii - 154 pm - than does scandium (Sc) - 184 pm. Although both have the same amount of shielding, Fe has a move for answer larger Z creating a stronger coulombic attraction and a smaller radii.

  27. Slide 37 / 102 The Periodic Law and Ionization Energy Ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom. This creates an ion, hence the name! The stronger the Coulombic attraction between the valence electron and the nucleus, the greater the energy required to remove an electron. Element Ionization Energy Li + IE --> Li + + e- 520 kJ/mol Na + IE --> Na + + e- 496 kJ/mol Less energy is required to remove sodium's electron than lithium's because sodium has a full energy level more of core electrons shielding the nuclear charge.

  28. Slide 38 / 102 The Periodic Law and Ionization Energy Unless you're hydrogen, you've got multiple electrons that can be lost. As a result we have to distinguish between 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. ionization energies. Each successive ionization energy is always higher than the previous. This is due to the higher nuclear charge felt by the remaining electrons. Ionization Ionization Energy 1st: Na + IE --> Na + + e- 496 kJ/mol 2nd: Na + + IE --> Na 2+ + e- 4560 kJ/mol 3rd: Na 2+ + IE --> Na 3+ + e- 6,900 kJ/mol 4th: Na 3+ + IE --> Na 4+ + e- 9540 kJ/mol Note the huge jump in ionization energy from the 1st to the 2nd. After sodium loses it's first electron, it is isoelectronic with [Ne], with an extremely stable full s and p orbital and minimal shielding.

  29. Slide 39 / 102 The Periodic Law and Ionization Energy The chart below clearly shows the impact of being isoelectronic with a noble gas on the ionization energy. Ionization Energy (kJ/mol) Na + Mg 2+ Al 3+ Si 4+ P 5+ S 6+

  30. Slide 40 / 102 The Periodic Law and Ionization Energy The trend in first ionization energies mostly matches what we would expect. The ionization energy increases across a period with increasing atomic number. ( Li < Ne) The ionization energy decreases down a group with increasing atomic number due to additional core electrons from each filled energy level shielding the nucleus. ( He > Ne)

  31. Slide 41 / 102 The Periodic Law and Ionization Energy There are however a few hiccups that need to be explained. Let's look carefully at the ionization energies of Be and B as well as N and O indicated in the circles. Shouldn't the ionization energy increase with increasing atomic number across a period? Quantum theory will explain.

  32. Slide 42 / 102 The Periodic Law and Ionization Energy Be: [He]2s 2 N: [He]2s 2 2p 3 B: [He]2s 2 2p 1 O: [He]2s 2 2p 4 More energy is required More energy is required to to remove an electron remove an electron from from Be's full "s" orbital N's 1/2 full "p" orbital

  33. Slide 43 / 102 The Periodic Law and Ionization Energy Let's look at another hiccup in the trend. Notice that a lot less energy is required to remove an electron from Ga (Z=31) than from Zn (Z=30). How can this be? Zinc has a full "s" and "d" orbital conferring extra stability while in gallium, the electron is being taken from a "p" orbital which is heavily shielded from the nucleus by the "d" orbital itself.

  34. Slide 44 / 102 The Periodic Law and Ionization Energy Let's practice ranking atoms/ions in terms of ionization energy: 1.

C Al Na+ Ne Na Valence "N" 2 3 2 2 3 move for answer "Z" 6 13 11 10 11 Na < Al < C < Ne < Na + IE(kJ/mol) 496 578 1086 2081 4560

  52. Slide 54 / 102 Ionization Energy and PES Ionization energy data can be determined from PES (photoelectron spectroscopy). Recall that PES looks at the energy of light required to remove electrons from an atom. Each orbital appears as a peak on the spectrum. Intensity Be (1s) Be (2s) Li (2s) Li (1s) binding energy The PES spectrum clearly shows that the core electrons require the most energy to remove. It also shows that Be has a higher 1st IE for the removal of the valence electrons than does Li. This is expected as Be has a higher "Z".

  63. Slide 61 / 102 Ionization Energy and Metallic Character Metals are generally described as being able to lose electrons readily which promotes conductivity.
