Key Ideas The placement or location of elements on the Periodic Table gives an indication of physical and

chemical properties of that element. The elements on the Periodic Table are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.

Elements can be classified by their properties and located on the Periodic Table as metals, nonmetals, metalloids (B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te), and noble gases.

Elements can be differentiated by their physical properties. Physical properties of substances, such as density, conductivity, malleability, solubility, and hardness, differ among elements.

Elements can be differentiated by chemical properties. Chemical properties describe how an element behaves during a chemical reaction.

Some elements exist in two or more forms in the same phase. These forms differ in their molecular or crystal structure, and hence in their properties.

For Groups 1, 2, and 13-18 on the Periodic Table, elements within the same group have the same number of valence electrons (helium is an exception) and therefore similar chemical properties.

The succession of elements within the same group demonstrates characteristic trends: differences in atomic radius, ionic radius, electronegativity, first ionization energy, metallic/nonmetallic properties.

In the wave-mechanical model (electron cloud model), the electrons are in orbitals, which are defined as the regions of the most probable electron location (ground state).

Each electron in an atom has its own distinct amount of energy.

When an electron in an atom gains a specific amount of energy, the electron is at a higher energy state (excited state).

When an electron returns from a higher energy state to a lower energy state, a specific amount of energy is emitted. This emitted energy can be used to identify an element.

The outermost electrons in an atom are called the valence electrons. In general, the number of valence electrons affects the chemical properties of an element.

The placement or location of elements on the Periodic Table gives an indication of physical and chemical properties of that element. The elements on the Periodic Table are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.

For Groups 1, 2, and 13-18 on the Periodic Table, elements within the same group have the same number of valence electrons (helium is an exception) and therefore similar chemical properties.

I. Quantum Model of the AtomA. Electrons as Waves

1. Louis de Broglie (1924) proposed that electrons have wavelike properties

B. Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle – it is impossible to determine both the position and the path of the electron at the same time1. electrons are detected by their interaction with photons2. because electrons are so small, an attempt to locate an electron with a photon

knocks the electron off its course

C. Schrodinger Wave Equation1. Erwin Schrodinger (1927) developed a mathematical equation that treated electrons

as waves2. electrons do not travel in exact orbits; instead they exist in certain regions of space

called orbitals

D. Atomic Orbitals and Quantum Numbers1. a set of four quantum numbers describes the properties of an atomic orbital

2. Quantum Number Describesa. principal (n) energy levelb. angular momentum (l) shape of orbital (sublevel)c. magnetic (m) orientation in space (orbital)d. spin spin of electron

Chemistry Unit 2-2: Matter and Atomic Theory

The valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level.

Since the maximum number of electrons possible in the orbitals is eight, there can be no more than eight valence electrons.

Valence electrons determine how an element behaves, as elements with four or more valence electrons want to react with other elements to gain electrons to get a full valence shell.

Elements with 3 or less valence electrons will react with other elements to lose electrons to get to a full valence shell.

Determine the element’s number of valence electrons (# of electrons in the “outermost” shell).

Example: Carbon has 4 valence electrons, carbon__4__

1. fluorine _____ 10. lithium _____2. phosphorus _____ 11. sulfur _____3. calcium _____ 12. carbon _____4. nitrogen _____ 13. iodine _____5. oxygen _____ 14. xenon _____6. argon _____ 15. barium _____7. potassium _____ 16. aluminum _____8. helium _____ 17. hydrogen _____9. magnesium _____

1. What are valence electrons used for by an element?

2. Which elements listed above want to lose electrons? What type of elements are they?

3. Which elements above want to gain electrons? What type of elements are they?

4. Why do the elements from question 2 want to lose electrons? Why do the elements from question 3 want to gain electrons? (The answer is the same for both questions).

5. How many valence electrons do the elements in group 18 have? Would these elements react with other elements? Explain your answer.

Chemistry Unit 2-2: Matter and Atomic Theory

Bohr diagrams show the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus and the number of electrons in their energy levels. The electron configuration shows how many electrons are in each level in the ground state, or under normal conditions. An example of a Bohr diagram is given below:

Draw the Bohr diagrams of the following:

H-1 K-40 Li-7 Be-9

B-11 C-14 Ne-20 O-16

F-19 Cl-35 Al-27 S-28

S-32 N-14 Mg-24 P-31

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. They are the furthest from the nucleus, escaping the protons pulling on them. Therefore, they have the __________ energy out of all the electrons. Do any of the elements above have the same number of valence electrons? List the pairs:

Light Waves

The behavior of light indicates that it is comprised of waves. The distance between successive waves is called the wavelength (Z) and the wavelength determines the type of light. The size of the waves determines the type of light. All of the various light waves move with the same speed, a value abbreviated (c) equal to 3.00 × 108 m/s. The frequency (u) that light waves pass a given point is measured in waves/second or simply ‘per second’ (1/s). The unit 1/s is also given the name hertz (Hz).

Chemistry Unit 2-2: Matter and Atomic Theory

The Periodic Table is a list of all the known elements. It is organized by increasing atomic number. There are two main groups on the periodic table: metals and nonmetals. The left side of the table contains elements with the greatest metallic properties. As you move from the left to the right, the elements become less metallic with the far right side of the table consisting of nonmetals. A small group of elements, whose members touch the zigzag line, are called metalloids because they have both metallic and nonmetallic properties. Identify the zig zag line and make it more bold using a black crayon.

The table is also arranged in vertical columns called “groups” or “families” and horizontal rows called “periods.” Each arrangement is significant. The elements in each vertical column or group have similar properties. There are a number of major groups with similar properties. They are as follows:

Hydrogen: This element does not match the properties of any other group so it stands alone. It is placed above group 1 but it is not part of that group. It is a very reactive, colorless, odorless gas at room temperature. (1 outer level electron) Outline Hydrogen in red.

Group 1: Alkali Metals – These metals are extremely reactive and are never found in nature in their pure form. They are silver colored and shiny. Their density is extremely low so that they are soft enough to be cut with a knife. (1 outer level electron) Color the alkali metals in red.

Group 2: Alkaline-earth Metals – Slightly less reactive than alkali metals. They are silver colored and more dense than alkali metals. (2 outer level electrons) Color the alkaline earth metals in orange.

Groups 3 – 12: Transition Metals – These metals have a moderate range of reactivity and a wide range of properties. In general, they are shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity. They also have higher densities and melting points than groups 1 & 2. (1 or 2 outer level electrons) Color the transition metals in pink.

Lanthanides and Actinides: These are also transition metals that were taken out and placed at the bottom of the table so the table wouldn’t be so wide. The elements in each of these two periods share many properties. The lanthanides are shiny and reactive. The actinides are all radioactive and are therefore unstable. Elements 95 through 103 do not exist in nature but have been manufactured in the lab. Color the lanthanides and actinides brown.

Group 13: Boron Group – Contains one metalloid and 4 metals. Reactive. Aluminum is in this group. It is also the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust. (3 outer level electrons) Color group 13 yellow.

Group 14: Carbon Group – Contains on nonmetal, two metalloids, and two metals. Varied reactivity. (4 outer level electrons) Color group 14 light green.

Group 15: Nitrogen Group – Contains two nonmetals, two metalloids, and one metal. Varied reactivity. (5 outer level electrons) Color group 15 dark green.

Group 16: Oxygen Group – Contains three nonmetals, one metalloid, and one metal. Reactive group. (6 outer level electrons) Color group 16 light blue.

Group 17: Halogens – All nonmetals. Very reactive. Poor conductors of heat and electricity. Tend to form salts with metals. Ex. NaCl: sodium chloride also known as “table salt”. (7 outer level electrons) Color group 17 dark blue.

Orbital Diagrams Worksheet #1

An orbital diagram uses boxes with arrows to represent the electrons in an atom. Each box in an orbital diagram represents an orbital. Orbitals have a capacity of two electrons. Arrows are drawn inside the boxes to represent electrons. Two electrons in the same orbital

Chemistry Unit 2-2: Matter and Atomic Theory

must have opposite spin so the arrows are drawn pointing in opposite directions. The following is an orbital diagram for selenium.

In writing an orbital diagram the first step is to determine the number of electrons. Normally this is the same as the number of protons, which is known as the atomic number. Next the boxes are drawn for the orbitals. Arrows are drawn in the boxes starting from the lowest energy sublevel and working up. This is known as the Aufbau rule. The Pauli exclusion principle requires that electrons in the same orbital have opposite spin. Hund’s rule states orbitals in a given sublevel are half-filled before they are completely filled.

Write orbital diagrams for the following. You may abbreviate using a noble gas.7. Hydrogen

8. Boron

Electron ConfigurationAn electron configuration is simply a list of the orbitals that contain electrons for a given

element. The orbital designation is followed by a superscript number that tells how many electrons are found in that orbital. The following designation represents an atom with electrons found in the 1s, the 2s, the 2p,

17

Page 18:  · Web viewThe Periodic Table is a list of all the known elements. It is organized by increasing atomic number. There are two main groups on the periodic table: metals and nonmetals

Chemistry Unit 2-2: Matter and Atomic Theory

and the 3s orbitals. There are a total of 11 electrons in the atom. This represents the element sodium.

The orbitals of an atom fill in a specific sequence. The pattern fits very nicely with various regions of the periodic table. The table is been sectioned into blocks which are labeled: s block, p block, d block, and f block. The rows of each block are labeled as well. Using this shortcut, electron configurations can be determined easily. The element manganese is the fifth element in the 3d row. The orbitals before the 3d orbital are all filled so it has full 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, and 4s orbitals. Since manganese is the fifth element in the 3d row we designate the 3d orbital with 5 electrons.

Electron configurations can be abbreviated by writing the element symbol for the previous noble gas in brackets, followed by the remaining electrons. For example, rather than writing all of the electrons in antimony (element 51), the first 36 electrons are represented by [Kr]. The remaining electrons are notated using orbital names and superscript numbers.

The outermost electrons in an atom are called the valence electrons. These electrons are especially important because they interact with other atoms in chemical bonds. The valence electrons are those electrons in the highest energy level. When the electron configuration is known, the number of valence electrons can be determined by adding up the electrons found in the highest energy s and p orbitals. The number of valence electrons can also be determined by simply determining the group number on the periodic table. The last digit of the group number indicates the number of valence electrons.

A system of tracking valence electrons was developed by G. N. Lewis. In this system the element symbol is written to represent an atom and dots are written around the symbol to represent valence electrons. The dots are generally spaced out evenly. Since the largest number of valence electrons for the representative elements (those in the s or p block) is eight, we place a maximum of two dots on each side.

Use your periodic table to answer the following questions.

1. Tin has valence electrons, and chlorine has valence electrons.

2. Three atoms that have eight valence electrons are , , and .

3. Each of the atoms in alkali earth metal family (group 2) has valence electrons.

4. Sodium has valence electrons, and bismuth has valence electrons.

5. The valence electrons are those found in the highest energy and orbitals.

6. How many dots are drawn in the Lewis dot diagram for phosphorus?

7. Iodine has seven valence electrons. Which other elements have seven valence electrons?

8. An element with the electron configuration: [Xe] 6s24f145d106p2 has how many valence electrons?

1. What would be the attractive force on a single electron if five protons were in the nucleus of an atom? Show mathematical work to support your answer.

2. Imagine that a second electron were placed to the left of a nucleus containing two protons (Model 3, set D). Predict the force of attraction on both the original electron and the second electron. Explain your prediction with a complete sentence.

NOTE: The attractive and repulsive forces in an atom are rather complex. An electron is attracted to the protons in the nucleus, but it is also repelled by the other electrons in the atom. It is important to note however that the attractive force of the nucleus is NOT divided up among the electrons in the atom. Each electron gets approximately the full attractive force of the nucleus (minus the repulsive effects of other electrons). Compare the diagram below to set D in Model 3. Notice the similarity in attractive force.

1. Using the periodic table, locate the elements whose atoms are drawn above. Are the elements in the same column or the same row?

2. Circle the outermost electron(s) in each of the atoms in the above models.

3. Which of the three atoms diagrammed in the above models has the strongest attraction for its outermost electron(s)?

4. As you move from the smallest atom to the largest atom, does the distance between the outer- most electron(s) and the nucleus change significantly?

5. Can the differences in the attractive force shown by the arrows be explained by a change in the distance between the electron(s) and the nucleus?

6. On the diagrams above, write the number of protons located in the nucleus of each atom.

7. Can the differences in attractive forces shown by the arrows in the model be explained by a change in the number of protons in the nucleus? If yes, explain the relationship.
