Trends in the Periodic Table


atomic radius ionic radius ionization energy electron affinity

Dr. Roto

Atomic Radius
decrease left to right across a period
as nuclear charge increases, number of electrons increase; however, the nucleus acts as a unit charge while the electrons act independently, pulling electrons towards the nucleus, decreasing size

Dr. Roto

Atomic Radius
increase top to bottom down a group
each additional electron shell shields the outer electrons from the nuclear charge

Zeff = Z - S where Zeff => effective nuclear charge Z => nuclear charge, atomic number S => shielding constant
Dr. Roto

Atomic Radius
increases from upper right corner to the lower left corner

Dr. Roto

Atomic Radius vs. Atomic Number

Dr. Roto

Atomic Radius

Dr. Roto

Ionic Radius
same trends as for atomic radius positive ions smaller than atom negative ions larger than atom

Dr. Roto

Ionic Radius
Isoelectronic Series series of negative ions, noble gas atom, and positive ions with the same electronic confiuration size decreases as positive charge of the nucleus increases

Dr. Roto

Ge is a semiconductor. If half of the Ge atoms of a sample of Ge are replaced with Ga atoms, with what element should the other half of the Ga atoms be replaced in order for this new compound to be isoelectronic with Ge? Sn, As, Se
Dr. Roto

Ionization Energy
energy necessary to remove an electron to form a positive ion low value for metals, electrons easily removed high value for non-metals, electrons difficult to remove increases from lower left corner of periodic table to the upper right corner
Dr. Roto

Ionization Energies
first ionization energy energy to remove first electron from an atom second ionization energy energy to remove second electron from a +1 ion etc.
Dr. Roto

Ionization Energy vs. Atomic Number

Dr. Roto

Electron Affinity
energy released when an electron is added to an atom same trends as ionization energy, increases from lower left corner to the upper right corner metals have low EA nonmetals have high EA
Dr. Roto
