12 B.PERIODIC TABLE There are over 100 elements so far discovered. Scientists have tried to group them together in a periodic table. A periodic table is a horizontal and vertical arrangement of elements according to their atomic numbers. This table was successfully arranged in 1913 by the British scientist Henry Moseley from the previous work of the Russian Scientist Dmitri Mendeleev.

Scientists have tried to group them together in a periodic table. A periodic table is a horizontal and vertical arrangement of elements according to their atomic numbers. This table was successfully arranged in 1913 by the British scientist Henry Moseley from the previous work of the Russian Scientist Dmitri Mendeleev. The horizontal arrangement forms period. Atoms in the same period have the same the same number of energy levels in their electronic structure. i.e. The number of energy levels in the electronic configuration of an element determine the period to which the element is in the periodic table. e.g. Which period of the periodic table are the following isotopes/elements/atoms? a) 126C Electron structure 2:4 => 2 energy levels used thus Period 2 b) 2311Na Electron structure 2:8:1 => 3 energy levels used thus Period 3 c) 3919K Electron structure 2:8:8:1 => 4 energy levels used thus Period 4 d) 11H Electron structure 1: => 1 energy level used thus Period 1 The vertical arrangement of elements forms a group. Atoms in the same have the same the same group have the same number of outer energy level electrons as per their electronic structure. i.e. The number of electrons in the outer energy level an element determine the group to which the element is ,in the periodic table. 13 a) 126C Electron structure 2:4 => 4 electrons in outer energy level thus Group IV b) 2311C Electron structure 2:8:1 => 1 electron in outer energy level thus Group I c) 3919K Electron structure 2:8:8:1=>1 electron in outer energy level thus Group I d) 11H Electron structure 1: => 1 electron in outer energy level thus Group I By convention; (i)Periods are named using English numerals 1,2,3,4,… (ii)Groups are named using Roman numerals I,II,III,IV,… There are eighteen groups in a standard periodic table. There are seven periods in a standard periodic table. When an atom has maximum number of electrons in its outer energy level, it is said to be stable. When an atom has no maximum number of electrons in its outer energy level, it is said to be unstable. All stable atoms are in group 8/18 of the periodic table. All other elements are unstable.

When an atom has no maximum number of electrons in its outer energy level, it is said to be unstable. All stable atoms are in group 8/18 of the periodic table. All other elements are unstable. THE STANDARD PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS
14 All unstable atoms/isotopes try to be stable through chemical reactions. A chemical reaction involves gaining or losing outer electrons (electron transfer) .When electron transfer take place, an ion is formed. An ion is formed when an unstable atom gain or donate electrons in its outer energy level inorder to be stable. Whether an atom gain or donate electrons depend on the relative energy required to donate or gain extra electrons i.e. Examples 1. 199 F has electronic structure/configuration 2:7. It can donate the seven outer electrons to have stable electronic structure/configuration 2:. It can gain one extra electron to have stable electronic structure/configuration 2:8. Gaining requires less energy, and thus Fluorine reacts by gaining one extra electrons. 2. 2313 Al has electronic structure/configuration 2:8:3 It can donate the three outer electrons to have stable electronic structure/configuration 2:8. It can gain five extra electrons to have stable electronic structure/configuration 2:8:8. Donating requires less energy, and thus Aluminium reacts by donating its three outer electrons. Elements with less than four electrons in the outer energy level donates /lose the outer electrons to be stable and form a positively charged ion called cation. A cation therefore has more protons(positive charge) than electrons(negative charge) Generally metals usually form cation Elements with more than four electrons in the outer energy level gain /acquire extra electrons in the outer energy level to be stable and form a negatively charged ion called anion. An anion therefore has less protons(positive charge) than electrons(negative charge) Generally non metals usually form anion. Except Hydrogen The charge carried by an ion is equal to the number of electrons gained/acquired or donated/lost. Examples of ion formation 1.11H H -> H+ + e (atom) (monovalent cation) (electrons donated/lost) Electronic configuration 1: (No electrons remains)
15 2. 2713 Al Al -> Al3+ + 3e (atom) (trivalent cation) (3 electrons donated/lost) Electron 2:8:3 2:8 structure (unstable) (stable) 3.

The ratio of the atoms making a compound is called the chemical formulae. Elements combine together to form a compound depending on their combining power. The combining power of atoms in an element is called Valency.Valency of an element is equal to the number of: (i)hydrogen atoms that an atom of element can combine with or displace. (ii)electrons gained /acquired in outer energy level by non metals to be stable/attain duplet/octet. (iii)electrons donated/lost by outer energy level of metals to be stable/attain octet/duplet. (iv)charges carried by ions/cations/ions
18 Group of atoms that react as a unit during chemical reactions are called radicals.Elements with variable oxidation state also have more than one valency. Table showing the valency of common radicals.

27 C.PERIODICITY OF CHEMICAL FAMILES/DOWN THE GROUP. The number of valence electrons and the number of occupied energy levels in an atom of an element determine the position of an element in the periodic table.i.e The number of occupied energy levels determine the Period and the valence electrons determine the Group. Elements in the same group have similar physical and chemical properties. The trends in physical and chemical properties of elements in the same group vary down the group. Elements in the same group thus constitute a chemical family. (a) Group I elements: Alkali metals Group I elements are called Alkali metals except Hydrogen which is a non metal. The alkali metals include: Element Symbol Atomic number Electron structure Oxidation state Valency Lithium Li 3 2:1 Li+ 1 Sodium Na 11 2:8:1 Na+ 1 Potassium K 19 2:8:8:1 K+ 1 Rubidium Rb 37 2:8:18:8:1 Rb+ 1 Caesium Cs 55 2:8:18:18:8:1 Cs+ 1 Francium Fr 87 2:8:18:32:18:8:1 Fr+ 1 All alkali metals atom has one electron in the outer energy level.

They therefore are monovalent. They donate /lose the outer electron to have oxidation state M+ The number of energy levels increases down the group from Lithium to Francium. The more the number of energy levels the bigger/larger the atomic size. e.g. The atomic size of Potassium is bigger/larger than that of sodium because Potassium has more/4 energy levels than sodium (3 energy levels). Atomic and ionic radius The distance between the centre of the nucleus of an atom and the outermost energy level occupied by electron/s is called atomic radius. Atomic radius is measured in nanometers(n).The higher /bigger the atomic radius the bigger /larger the atomic size. The distance between the centre of the nucleus of an ion and the outermost energy level occupied by electron/s is called ionic radius. Ionic radius is also
28 measured in nanometers(n).The higher /bigger the ionic radius the bigger /larger the size of the ion. Atomic radius and ionic radius depend on the number of energy levels occupied by electrons. The more the number of energy levels the bigger/larger the atomic /ionic radius. e.g. The atomic radius of Francium is bigger/larger than that of sodium because Francium has more/7 energy levels than sodium (3 energy levels). Atomic radius and ionic radius of alkali metals increase down the group as the number of energy levels increases. The atomic radius of alkali metals is bigger than the ionic radius. This is because alkali metals react by losing/donating the outer electron and hence lose the outer energy level.

Atomic radius and ionic radius of alkali metals increase down the group as the number of energy levels increases. The atomic radius of alkali metals is bigger than the ionic radius. This is because alkali metals react by losing/donating the outer electron and hence lose the outer energy level. Table showing the atomic and ionic radius of some alkali metals Element Symbol Atomic number Atomic radius(nM) Ionic radius(nM) Lithium Li 3 0.133 0.060 Sodium Na 11 0.157 0.095 Potassium K 19 0.203 0.133 The atomic radius of sodium is 0.157nM .The ionic radius of Na+ is 0.095nM. This is because sodium reacts by donating/losing the outer electrons and hence the outer energy level. The remaining electrons/energy levels experience more effective / greater nuclear attraction/pull towards the nucleus reducing the atomic radius. Electropositivity The ease of donating/losing electrons is called electropositivity. All alkali metals are electropositive. Electropositivity increase as atomic radius increase. This is because the effective nuclear attraction on outer electrons decreases with increase in atomic radius. The outer electrons experience less nuclear attraction and can be lost/ donated easily/with ease. Francium is the most electropositive element in the periodic table because it has the highest/biggest atomic radius. Ionization energy The minimum amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom of element in its gaseous state is called 1st ionization energy. The SI unit of ionization energy is kilojoules per mole/kJmole-1 .Ionization energy depend on atomic radius. The higher the atomic radius, the less effective the nuclear attraction on outer electrons/energy level and thus the lower the ionization energy. For alkali metals the 1st ionization energy decrease down the group as
29 the atomic radius increase and the effective nuclear attraction on outer energy level electrons decrease. e.g. The 1st ionization energy of sodium is 496 kJmole-1 while that of potassium is 419 kJmole-1 .This is because atomic radius increase and thus effective nuclear attraction on outer energy level electrons decrease down the group from sodium to Potassium. It requires therefore less energy to donate/lose outer electrons in Potassium than in sodium.

e.g. The 1st ionization energy of sodium is 496 kJmole-1 while that of potassium is 419 kJmole-1 .This is because atomic radius increase and thus effective nuclear attraction on outer energy level electrons decrease down the group from sodium to Potassium. It requires therefore less energy to donate/lose outer electrons in Potassium than in sodium. Physical properties Soft/Easy to cut: Alkali metals are soft and easy to cut with a knife. The softness and ease of cutting increase down the group from Lithium to Francium. This is because an increase in atomic radius, decreases the strength of metallic bond and the packing of the metallic structure Appearance: Alkali metals have a shiny grey metallic luster when freshly cut. The surface rapidly/quickly tarnishes on exposure to air. This is because the metal surface rapidly/quickly reacts with elements of air/oxygen. Melting and boiling points: Alkali metals have a relatively low melting/boiling point than common metals like Iron. This is because alkali metals use only one delocalized electron to form a weak metallic bond/structure. Electrical/thermal conductivity: Alkali metals are good thermal and electrical conductors. Metals conduct using the outer mobile delocalized electrons. The delocalized electrons move randomly within the metallic structure.

Put three drops of phenolphthalein indicator. Put about 0.5g of Lithium metal into the beaker. Determine the pH of final product Repeat the experiment using about 0.1 g of Sodium and Potassium. Caution: Keep a distance Observations Alkali metal Observations Comparative speed/rate of the reaction Lithium -Metal floats in water -rapid effervescence/fizzing/bubbling -colourless gas produced (that extinguishes burning splint with explosion /“pop” sound) -resulting solution turn phenolphthalein indicator pink -pH of solution = 12/13/14 Moderately vigorous Sodium -Metal floats in water -very rapid effervescence /fizzing /bubbling -colourless gas produced (that extinguishes burning splint with explosion /“pop” sound) -resulting solution turn Very vigorous
31 phenolphthalein indicator pink -pH of solution = 12/13/14 Potassium -Metal floats in water -explosive effervescence /fizzing /bubbling -colourless gas produced (that extinguishes burning splint with explosion /“pop” sound) -resulting solution turn phenolphthalein indicator pink -pH of solution = 12/13/14 Explosive/burst into flames Explanation Alkali metals are less dense than water. They therefore float in water.They react with water to form a strongly alkaline solution of their hydroxides and producing hydrogen gas. The rate of this reaction increase down the group. i.e. Potassium is more reactive than sodium .Sodium is more reactive than Lithium. The reactivity increases as electropositivity increases of the alkali increases. This is because as the atomic radius increases , the ease of donating/losing outer electron increase during chemical reactions.

They therefore are divalent. They donate /lose the two outer electrons to have oxidation state M2+ The number of energy levels increases down the group from Beryllium to Radium. The more the number of energy levels the bigger/larger the atomic size. e.g. The atomic size/radius of Calcium is bigger/larger than that of Magnesium because Calcium has more/4 energy levels than Magnesium (3 energy levels). Atomic radius and ionic radius of alkaline earth metals increase down the group as the number of energy levels increases. The atomic radius of alkaline earth metals is bigger than the ionic radius. This is because they react by losing/donating the two outer electrons and hence lose the outer energy level. Table showing the atomic and ionic radius of the 1st three alkaline earth metals Element Symbol Atomic number Atomic radius(nM) Ionic radius(nM) Beryllium Be 4 0.089 0.031 Magnesium Mg 12 0.136 0.065
34 Calcium Ca 20 0.174 0.099 The atomic radius of Magnesium is 0.136nM .The ionic radius of Mg2+ is 0.065nM. This is because Magnesium reacts by donating/losing the two outer electrons and hence the outer energy level. The remaining electrons/energy levels experience more effective / greater nuclear attraction/pull towards the nucleus reducing the atomic radius. Electropositivity All alkaline earth metals are also electropositive like alkali metals. The electropositivity increase with increase in atomic radius/size.

The remaining electrons/energy levels experience more effective / greater nuclear attraction/pull towards the nucleus reducing the atomic radius. Electropositivity All alkaline earth metals are also electropositive like alkali metals. The electropositivity increase with increase in atomic radius/size. Calcium is more electropositive than Magnesium. This is because the effective nuclear attraction on outer electrons decreases with increase in atomic radius. The two outer electrons in calcium experience less nuclear attraction and can be lost/ donated easily/with ease because of the higher/bigger atomic radius. Ionization energy For alkaline earth metals the 1st ionization energy decrease down the group as the atomic radius increase and the effective nuclear attraction on outer energy level electrons decrease. e.g. The 1st ionization energy of Magnesium is 900 kJmole-1 while that of Calcium is 590 kJmole-1 .This is because atomic radius increase and thus effective nuclear attraction on outer energy level electrons decrease down the group from magnesium to calcium. It requires therefore less energy to donate/lose outer electron in calcium than in magnesium. The minimum amount of energy required to remove a second electron from an ion of an element in its gaseous state is called the 2nd ionization energy. The 2nd ionization energy is always higher /bigger than the 1st ionization energy. This because once an electron is donated /lost form an atom, the overall effective nuclear attraction on the remaining electrons/energy level increase. Removing a second electron from the ion require therefore more energy than the first electron. The atomic radius of alkali metals is higher/bigger than that of alkaline earth metals.This is because across/along the period from left to right there is an increase in nuclear charge from additional number of protons and still additional number of electrons entering the same energy level. Increase in nuclear charge increases the effective nuclear attraction on the outer energy level which pulls it closer to the nucleus. e.g. Atomic radius of Sodium (0.157nM) is higher than that of Magnesium (0.137nM). This is because Magnesium has more effective nuclear attraction on
35 the outer energy level than Sodium hence pulls outer energy level more nearer to its nucleus. Physical properties Soft/Easy to cut: Alkaline earth metals are not soft and easy to cut with a knife like alkali metals.

Atomic radius of Sodium (0.157nM) is higher than that of Magnesium (0.137nM). This is because Magnesium has more effective nuclear attraction on
35 the outer energy level than Sodium hence pulls outer energy level more nearer to its nucleus. Physical properties Soft/Easy to cut: Alkaline earth metals are not soft and easy to cut with a knife like alkali metals. This is because of the decrease in atomic radius of corresponding alkaline earth metal, increases the strength of metallic bond and the packing of the metallic structure. Alkaline earth metals are (i)ductile(able to form wire/thin long rods) (ii)malleable(able to be hammered into sheet/long thin plates) (iii)have high tensile strength(able to be coiled without breaking/ not brittle/withstand stress) Appearance: Alkali earth metals have a shiny grey metallic luster when their surface is freshly polished /scrubbed. The surface slowly tarnishes on exposure to air. This is because the metal surface slowly undergoes oxidation to form an oxide. This oxide layer should be removed before using the alkaline earth metals. Melting and boiling points: Alkaline earth metals have a relatively high melting/ boiling point than alkali metals. This is because alkali metals use only one delocalized electron to form a weaker metallic bond/structure. Alkaline earth metals use two delocalized electrons to form a stronger metallic bond /structure. The melting and boiling points decrease down the group as the atomic radius/size increase reducing the strength of metallic bond and packing of the metallic structure. e.g. Beryllium has a melting point of 1280oC. Magnesium has a melting point of 650oC.Beryllium has a smaller atomic radius/size than magnesium .The strength of metallic bond and packing of the metallic structure is thus stronger in beryllium. Electrical/thermal conductivity: Alkaline earth metals are good thermal and electrical conductors. The two delocalized valence electrons move randomly within the metallic structure. Electrical conductivity increase down the group as the atomic radius/size increase making the delocalized outer electrons less attracted to nucleus. Alkaline earth metals are better thermal and electrical conductors than alkali metals because they have more/two outer delocalized electrons.e.g. Magnesium is a better conductor than sodium because it has more/two delocalized electrons than sodium.

They therefore are therefore monovalent .They exist in oxidation state X- The number of energy levels increases down the group from Fluorine to Astatine. The more the number of energy levels the bigger/larger the atomic size. e.g. The atomic size/radius of Chlorine is bigger/larger than that of Fluorine because Chlorine has more/3 energy levels than Fluorine (2 energy levels). Atomic radius and ionic radius of Halogens increase down the group as the number of energy levels increases. The atomic radius of Halogens is smaller than the ionic radius. This is because they react by gaining/acquiring extra one electron in the outer energy level. The effective nuclear attraction on the more/extra electrons decreases. The incoming extra electron is also repelled causing the outer energy level to expand to reduce the repulsion and accommodate more electrons. Table showing the atomic and ionic radius of four Halogens
42 Element Symbol Atomic number Atomic radius(nM) Ionic radius(nM) Fluorine F 9 0.064 0.136 Chlorine Cl 17 0.099 0.181 Bromine Br 35 0.114 0.195 Iodine I 53 0.133 0.216 The atomic radius of Chlorine is 0.099nM .The ionic radius of Cl- is 0.181nM. This is because Chlorine atom/molecule reacts by gaining/acquiring extra one electrons. The more/extra electrons/energy level experience less effective nuclear attraction /pull towards the nucleus .The outer enegy level expand/increase to reduce the repulsion of the existing and incoming gained /acquired electrons. Electronegativity The ease of gaining/acquiring extra electrons is called electronegativity. All halogens are electronegative. Electronegativity decreases as atomic radius increase. This is because the effective nuclear attraction on outer electrons decreases with increase in atomic radius. The outer electrons experience less nuclear attraction and thus ease of gaining/acquiring extra electrons decrease. It is measured using Pauling’s scale. Where Fluorine with Pauling scale 4.0 is the most electronegative element and thus the highest tendency to acquire/gain extra electron. Table showing the electronegativity of the halogens.

It is measured using Pauling’s scale. Where Fluorine with Pauling scale 4.0 is the most electronegative element and thus the highest tendency to acquire/gain extra electron. Table showing the electronegativity of the halogens. Halogen F Cl Br I At Electronegativity (Pauling scale) 4.0 3.0 2.8 2.5 2.2 The electronegativity of the halogens decrease down the group from fluorine to Astatine. This is because atomic radius increases down the group and thus decrease electron – attracting power down the group from fluorine to astatine. Fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table because it has the small atomic radius. Electron affinity The minimum amount of energy required to gain/acquire an extra electron by an atom of element in its gaseous state is called 1st electron affinity. The SI unit of electron affinity is kilojoules per mole/kJmole-1 . Electron affinity depend on atomic radius. The higher the atomic radius, the less effective the nuclear attraction on outer energy level electrons and thus the lower the electron affinity. For halogens the 1st electron affinity decrease down the group as the
43 atomic radius increase and the effective nuclear attraction on outer energy level electrons decrease. Due to its small size/atomic radius Fluorine shows exceptionally low electron affinity. This is because a lot of energy is required to overcome the high repulsion of the existing and incoming electrons. Table showing the election affinity of halogens for the process X + e -> X- The higher the electron affinity the more stable theion.i.e Cl- is a more stable ion than Br- because it has a more negative / exothermic electron affinity than Br- Electron affinity is different from: (i) Ionization energy. Ionization energy is the energy required to lose/donate an electron in an atom of an element in its gaseous state while electron affinity is the energy required to gain/acquire extra electron by an atom of an element in its gaseous state. (ii) Electronegativity. -Electron affinity is the energy required to gain an electron in an atom of an element in gaseous state. It involves the process: X(g) + e -> X-(g) Electronegativity is the ease/tendency of gaining/ acquiring electrons by an element during chemical reactions.

(ii) Electronegativity. -Electron affinity is the energy required to gain an electron in an atom of an element in gaseous state. It involves the process: X(g) + e -> X-(g) Electronegativity is the ease/tendency of gaining/ acquiring electrons by an element during chemical reactions. It does not involve use of energy but theoretical arbitrary Pauling’ scale of measurements. Physical properties State at room temperature Fluorine and Chlorine are gases, Bromine is a liquid and Iodine is a solid. Astatine is radioactive . All halogens exist as diatomic molecules bonded by strong covalent bond. Each molecule is joined to the other by weak intermolecular forces/ Van-der-waals forces. Melting/Boiling point The strength of intermolecular/Van-der-waals forces of attraction increase with increase in molecular size/atomic radius. Iodine has therefore the largest atomic radius and thus strongest intermolecular forces to make it a solid. Iodine sublimes when heated to form (caution: highly toxic/poisonous) purple vapour. Halogen F Cl Br I Electron affinity kJmole-1 -333 -364 -342 -295
44 This is because Iodine molecules are held together by weak van-derwaals/intermolecular forces which require little heat energy to break. Electrical conductivity All Halogens are poor conductors of electricity because they have no free delocalized electrons. Solubility in polar and non-polar solvents All halogens are soluble in water(polar solvent). When a boiling tube containing either chlorine gas or bromine vapour is separately inverted in a beaker containing distilled water and tetrachloromethane (non-polar solvent), the level of solution in boiling tube rises in both water and tetrachloromethane. This is because halogen are soluble in both polar and non-polar solvents. Solubility of halogens in water/polar solvents decrease down the group. Solubility of halogens in non-polar solvent increase down the group. The level of water in chlorine is higher than in bromine and the level of tetrachloromethane in chlorine is lower than in bromine. Caution: Tetrachloromethane , Bromine vapour and Chlorine gas are all highly toxic/poisonous.

Solubility of halogens in non-polar solvent increase down the group. The level of water in chlorine is higher than in bromine and the level of tetrachloromethane in chlorine is lower than in bromine. Caution: Tetrachloromethane , Bromine vapour and Chlorine gas are all highly toxic/poisonous. Table showing the physical properties of Halogens Halogen Formula of molecule Electrical conductivity Solubility in water Melting point(oC) Boiling point(oC) Fluorine F2 Poor Insoluble/soluble in tetrachloromethane -238 -188 Chlorine Cl2 Poor Insoluble/soluble in tetrachloromethane -101 -35 Bromine Br2 Poor Insoluble/soluble in tetrachloromethane 7 59 Iodine I2 Poor Insoluble/soluble in tetrachloromethane 114 sublimes Chemical properties (i)Displacement Experiment Place separately in test tubes about 5cm3 of sodium chloride, Sodium bromide and Sodium iodide solutions. Add 5 drops of chlorine water to each test tube: Repeat with 5 drops of bromine water instead of chlorine water
45 Observation Using Chlorine water -Yellow colour of chlorine water fades in all test tubes except with sodium chloride. -Coloured Solution formed. Using Bromine water Yellow colour of bromine water fades in test tubes containing sodium iodide. -Coloured Solution formed. Explanation The halogens displace each other from their solution. The more electronegative displace the less electronegative from their solution. Chlorine is more electronegative than bromine and iodine. On adding chlorine water, bromine and Iodine are displaced from their solutions by chlorine. Bromine is more electronegative than iodide but less 6than chlorine. On adding Bromine water, iodine is displaced from its solution but not chlorine.
