 When elements are arranged
in order of increasing atomic
number, certain sets of
properties recur periodically.

WHAT ARE THESE PROPERTIES?

 Metallic, nonmetallic and metalloid properties

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN..

 As you go from left to right, you again


more protons (the atomic number
increases)
 You have greater “proton pulling power”
 Remember the nucleus is + and the electrons are - so they get pulled towards
the nucleus
 The more protons your have, the more Proton Pulling Power

because of greater PPP “proton pulling power”

“effective nuclear charge”
S is the shielding constant
What the inner electrons do….

They Shield the charge felt by the valance electrons.

Look at all the shielding Francium's one valance
electron has. It barely feels the proton pull from the
nucleus. No wonder it will lose it’s one electron the
easiest. No wonder it’s the most reactive metal
IONIZATION ENERGY / POTENTIAL

• = amount energy required to remove a valence electron from an atom in gas


phase

• 1st ionization energy = energy required to remove the most loosely held
valence electron (e- farthest from nucleus)

•Cs valence electron                                         
lot farther away from nucleus than Li
•electrostatic attraction much weaker so easier to steal
electron away from Cs
•THEREFORE, Li has a higher Ionization energy then Cs
Increased Ionization Energy (harder to remove an electron)

Ionization Energies of Elements
ELECTRON AFFINITY
Electron affinity is the energy change
when an electron is added to an atom

Generally, the energy that results from this


process (the electron affinity) is negative or close
to zero. The more negative this energy the more
this process is favored. The more negative this
energy the more this process is favored.
ELECTRON AFFINITY
 Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom
to attract a bonding pair of electrons.
 The Pauling scale is the most commonly used. Fluorine
(the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of
4.0, and values range down to caesium and francium which
are the least electronegative at 0.7.

ELECTRONEGATIVITY
Electrons are evenly attracted by
atoms A and B as in H-H, Cl-Cl

Electrons are slightly more attracted


To atom B than A as in H-Cl

Electron are totally attracted by B and


atom A has lost the control of electron
as in NaCl

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF AN ATOM
GAINS OR LOSES ELECTRONS?

 Atoms form ions to get a valence of 8


(or 2 for H)
 Metals tend to have 1, 2, or 3 valence electrons
 It’ s easier to lose them
 Nonmetals tend to have 5, 6, or 7 valence electrons
 It’ s easier to add some
 Noble gases already have 8 so they don’ t form ions very
easily
POSITIVE IONS (CATIONS)

• Formed by loss of electrons


• Cations always smaller than parent atom

8e 8e

Ca
Ca Ca+2
NEGATIVE IONS OR (ANIONS)

• Formed by gain of electrons

• Anions always larger than parent atom
