In 1871 Mendeleev predicted the existence of yet undiscovered element he named eka-aluminum (because of its proximity to aluminum in the periodic table). The table below compares the qualities of the element predicted by Mendeleev with actual characteristics of Gallium (discovered in 1875).

Effective Nuclear Effective Nuclear ChargeCharge

Protons in the nucleus attract the electrons

Electrons repel each other.

So inner electrons push the outer electrons (shielding), negating much of the pull of the nucleus. Thus higher energy levels means less lower effective nuclear charge.

Zeff = Z - S

As we compare elements in a period, the Zeff increases which means that the valence electrons are being pulled harder by the nucleus. So, from left to right, the atomic size decreases.

As we compare elements in a family, the main difference is the number of shells. From top to bottom, the number of shells increases, so the atomic size increases.

Bond LengthBond LengthBond LengthBond Length

When a bond forms, two atoms are held next to each other by electrical attractions. So the distance from nucleus to nucleus is called the bond length.

Bond length is thus the sum of atomic radii.

For example a C-H bond has a length of 1.14A, because C has a radius of .77A and H has a radius of .37A. .37A + .77A = 1.14A.

NaCl is an ionic compound and thus depends on the radii of the ions, not the atoms!

Na+ has a radius of .98A and Cl- has a radius of 1.81A. Thus the sum is 2.79A!

Ionization energy is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from the ground state of an isolated gaseous atom, or ion.

Na(g) --> Na+ (g) + e- IE = 496 kJ/mol

Na+ (g) --> Na2+ (g) + e- IE = 4560 kJ/mol

Why does the first electron come from sodium so much easier than the 2nd?

Na11: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

The first electron comes from the 3rd energy level, but the next electron must come from a lower energy level, closer to the nucleus, with a higher Zeff. Thus it takes a lot more energy to get 2 electrons than 1 from a sodium atom.

It is easier to remove a valence electron from a bigger element than a smaller one. Why?

A valence electron in a smaller atom is closer to the nucleus, and thus held more tightly by electrical attraction.

Ionization across a Ionization across a PeriodPeriod

Ionization across a Ionization across a PeriodPeriod

We now know that the size of the atoms decreases as we compare the elements going from left to right across a period. This means that more energy is required to remove electrons from elements on the right (nonmetals) and less for elements on the left (metals).

Ionization energy increases from left to right.

Could this be why metals give off electrons easily?

We also know that each successive member of a family is larger because of additional energy levels. This means that elements near the top of the periodic table require more energy to remove an electron than elements near the top.

Instead of taking electrons, we could also add electrons. One such property of atoms is called Electron Affinity.

Electron affinity is electron affinity is the energy released when 1 mole of gaseous atoms each acquire an electron to form 1 mole of gaseous 1- ions.

Like Ionization energy, there are successive electron affinities.

However...However...However...However...

Electron affinity is not a clear periodic property like ionization energy. The reason is that energy shifts based on whether subshells or orbitals are partially filled or completely filled. This makes it hard to come up with a good rule.

Still, it makes sense that a smaller atom can attract electrons better than a larger atom. So more energy is released when a smaller atom captures an electron than a larger atom.

If smaller atoms release more energy, than electron affinity should increase from left to right across a period.

Likewise, electron affinity should decrease from top to bottom.

MetalsMetalsMetalsMetalsWhat defines a

metal?We’ve used words like: luster, ductility,

malleability, & conductivity. Why do metals behave

this way?

Metallic BehaviorMetallic BehaviorMetallic BehaviorMetallic BehaviorMetals tend to be larger atoms. Since it is easier to remove an electron from a larger atom, it should make sense then that metals tend to form

cations.

Conversely we can say that the larger an atom is (or the lower its first

ionization is) the more metallic the atom is.

So if we compared O, S, and Se (all nonmetals) we could say that selenium, being the largest atom, is the most

metallic - even though it is a nonmetal.

Nonmetallic BehaviorNonmetallic BehaviorNonmetallic BehaviorNonmetallic BehaviorNonmetals tend to be smaller atoms. Since it is easier to add an electron

to a smaller atom, it should make sense then that nonmetals tend to form

anions.

Conversely we can say that the smaller an atom is (or the higher its first ionization is) the more nonmetallic

the atom is.

So if we compared Li, Na, and K (all metals) we could say that lithium,

being the smallest atom, is the most nonmetallic - even though it is a

metal.
