DOBEREINER'S TRIADS

Elements were arranged in increasing order of atomic masses in groups of three called triad; in which the atomic mass of the middle element was the average of the atomic mass of the other two elements.

E.g. Li, Na, K ; Cl, Br, I formed a triad.

 

Limitations of Dobereiner's Triads

 All the elements could not be arranged in the form of triads.

 

NEWLANDS’ LAW OF OCTAVES

 According to the Newlands' Law of octaves “When elements are arranged in increasing order of their atomic masses, the properties of every eighth element was similar to that of first element and so on.”

 

Limitations of Newlands’ Law of Octaves

 The law was applicable only for lighter elements.

 

MENDELEEV’S PERIODIC LAW

Mendeleev’s Periodic Law states that ‘The physical and chemical properties of elements are the periodic function of their atomic masses.’

 

Merits of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table        

1.    Mendeleev left gaps for undiscovered elements and also predicted their properties.

2.    Incorrect atomic mass of some elements was corrected.

 

Limitations of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table

1. Correct position of hydrogen could not be assigned.

2. Anomalous position of isotopes.

3. Anomalous pairing of elements: In certain places in the periodic table Mendeleev placed an element with slightly larger atomic mass before an element with slightly lower atomic mass.

   E.g. Co (58.93) was placed before Ni (58.71)

4. Position of rare earth and actinides could not be justified.

 

MODERN PERIODIC LAW

‘The physical and chemical properties of elements are the periodic function of their atomic numbers.’

 

Salient Features of Modern Periodic Table

1.    The vertical columns in the Modern periodic table are called groups. There are 18 groups.

2.    The horizontal rows in the Modern periodic table are called periods. There are 7 periods in the Modern Periodic Table.

3.     There are 2 separate rows at the bottom of the periodic table each containing 14 elements. The first row is called the lanthanide series and the second row the actinide series.

BRIDGE ELEMENTS

Elements of second period are known as bridge elements. They resemble in certain properties with the elements of the third period placed diagonally.

E.g. Li has similarities with Mg.

 

PERIODIC PROPERTIES

The occurrence of characteristic properties of elements at definite intervals in the modern periodic table is called periodicity in elements. The properties which appear at regular intervals in the periodic table are called periodic properties. Chemical properties of an element depend on the electronic configuration of the elements. As we move across a period the electronic configuration is found to change so the chemical properties also change gradually. As we move down a group the number of valence electron remains same so there is a similarity in the chemical properties of the elements in a group.

 

*   Atomic Radius

The distance between the centre of the nucleus of an atom and its outermost shell is called the atomic radius.

 

Factors affecting the Atomic Radii

1.    Number of shells:    Atomic Radii α No. of shells

     As the number of shells increases the distance between the outermost shell and the       nucleus increases. So the atomic size increases.

2.    Nuclear Charge:     Atomic Radii α

Nuclear Charge is the positive charge on the nucleus of an atom.

   As the nuclear charge increases the electrons in the outermost shell are attracted with     increasing force. Thus the outermost shell comes closer to the nucleus.

*   Ionic Radii

a.    Radius of a cation: Radius of a cation is less than the corresponding atom as the number of shells is less in the cation than in the atom.

E.g.     

 

K

K+

Electronic configuration:

 2,8,8,1

     2, 8, 8

Number of shells:

4

3

                       

Therefore atomic size of K+ is less than K.

 

b. Radius of an anion: Radius of an anion is more than the corresponding atom as an extra electron is added to the valence shell which results in an increase in inter electronic repulsion and a decrease in the effective nuclear charge.

 

Note: The atomic radii of an inert gas are larger than the preceding elements. This is because the valence shell of an inert gas is complete and so the inter electronic repulsion is maximum

 

 

*   Ionisation Potential

It is defined as the amount of energy required to remove a loosely bound electron from the valence shell of an isolated gaseous atom in its ground state.

Ionisation energy can be expressed in terms of kJmol-1 or eV [electron volt].

M (g) + IE → M+ (g) + e-

Successive Ionisation Potential

M + IE1 → M+ + e-,                                        IE1 is 1st ionisation energy

M+ + IE2 → M+2 + e-,                                      IE2 is 2nd ionisation energy

M+2 + IE3 → M+3 + e-,                                    IE3 is 3rd ionisation energy

 IE1 < IE2 < IE3

This is because it is more difficult to remove an electron from a positively charged ion than from a neutral atom (in case of IE2 electron has to be removed from a cation).

 

Factors Affecting Ionisation Potential (IP)

1.    Atomic size:         IP α

    The force of attraction on the valence shell increases as the atomic size decreases. So ionisation energy increases.

 

2.    Nuclear charge: I P α Nuclear charge

The force of attraction on the valence electron increases so the electrons are held more firmly and thus ionisation energy increases.

 

Note: He has the highest ionisation energy (2372kJ/mol and Cs has the lowest ionisation energy (375 kJ/mol).

Metals usually have low ionisation energy and non- metals have high ionisation energy.

 

 

*        Electron affinity (EA):

The amount of energy released when an isolated atom in the gaseous state accepts an electron to form an anion.

X (g) + e- → X- (g) + EA

EA can be either positive or negative. The process of adding an electron to the atom can be either endothermic or exothermic. Electron affinity is positive for noble gases. EA is expressed in kJ/mol or eV.

 

 

Factors Affecting Electron Affinity (EA)

1.    Atomic radius: EA α

  A small atom accepts an electron more readily than a large atom as the nucleus exerts a greater force of attraction on the electrons.

2.    Nuclear charge:  EA α Nuclear charge

  

 Note: EA of chlorine is more than fluorine. EA of sulphur is more than that of oxygen. This is because of the small size of the atom, inter electronic repulsion increases and hence EA decreases.

EA is highest for halogens and least for alkali metals.

 

*   Electronegativity

It is defined as the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.

 

Factors Affecting Electronegativity

   1. Atomic radius:  Electronegativity α 

 

    2. Nuclear Charge: Electronegativity α Nuclear Charge

 

Note: Noble gases have zero electronegativity. Fluorine is the most electronegative element and caesium the least.

 

*   Metallic and Non Metallic Properties

The tendency of an atom to loose electrons to form cations is called metallic character or electropositive character.

The tendency of an atom to gain electrons by to form anions is called non-metallic character or electronegative character.

 

 Factors Affecting Metallic and Non-metallic Character

1. Atomic radius:

                          Metallic character α Atomic radius

                               Non –metallic character α 

                               

   2. Ionisation potential:

                  Metallic character α

                        Non –metallic character α

 

*         Chemical Reactivity

The reactivity of elements depends upon their tendency to loose or gain electrons to complete their outermost orbit.

Greater the tendency to loose electrons greater is the reactivity of the metals. Greater the tendency to gain electrons greater is the reactivity of non- metals.

 

Variation of Periodic Properties Across the Period and Down the Group

 

Across the Period

Ionisation potential, electron affinity, electronegativity, non-metallic character and the number of valence electrons increases across the period. Atomic radius and metallic character decreases across the period. Chemical reactivity of an element first decreases and then increases across the period.

 

Down the Group

Ionisation potential, electron affinity, electronegativity and non-metallic character decreases down the group. Atomic radius and metallic character increases down the group. The number of valence electrons remains same. Chemical reactivity of metals increases because the tendency to lose electrons increases and reactivity of non-metals decreases because the tendency to gain electrons decreases.

 

Note: Across a period valency of an element first increase from 1 to 4 and then decreases to 0. Down the group valency remains same.

 

PREDICTION OF GROUP, PERIOD AND BLOCK OF A GIVEN ELEMENT

 

Period = The total number of shells in an atom of an element.

Block = The orbital in which the last electron enters.

Group:

For s block elements= No. of valence electron

For p block elements = No. of valence electron + 10

For d block elements= No. of electrons in (n-1) d orbital +2

 

 

Exercise 1

1.      Predict the block, period and group to which the following element belongs.

A (Z = 10), X (Z = 26), Y (Z =19), B (Z = 14), C (Z = 47)

 

 

Note:

· The elements in the first group (Li, Na, K, Rb,Cs & Fr) are called alkali metals. The elements in the second group (Ca, Sr, Ba …) are called alkaline earth metals. The elements in the 17th group (F, Cl, Br, I, At) are called halogens.

· Electropositive elements: The elements which lose electrons and form positive ions are called electropositive elements. All the metals are electropositive in nature.

· Electronegative elements: The elements which gain electrons and form negative ions are called electronegative elements. All the non- metals are electronegative in nature.
