S and P block Elements

Atomic size:

The average distance between the nucleus and outermost orbits shells of an atom is called atomic size.

Ionic size: 

The average distance between the nucleus and outermost orbit of ion is called ionic size.

Trends in atomic or ionic size

 Atomic size are ionic size of an element decreases from left to right in the period. 

Reason: As we move from left to right in the period, number of shells and shielding effect of all element in a given period remains the same but the effective nuclear charge increases by 1 unit in each element which attracts the valence electron more effectively and hence atomic size decreases. 

Question: Why size of inert gases is greater than preceding halogen?

Answer. The size of inert gases is greater than preceding halogens due to  interelectronic repulsion of electrons.

Quick quiz 1 The electronic structure of magnesium is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 write down electronic structure of aluminum in the same notation aluminum equal to 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s23p1  ; which of the two elements magnesium are aluminum has the more stable structure?

Answer. Magnesium has more stable structure.

Ionization energy

 Ionization energy maybe define as ''the minimum amount of energy required to remove 1 mole of valence electrons from one mole of gaseous atom to produce one mole of uni-positive gaseous ions is called ionization energy

For example

X   ---------------------->     X+     +   e-

Factors of ionization energy

 Ionization energy depends upon following factors:

Atomic size:  Greater than atomic size, smaller will be ionization energy and vice versa.

Shielding effect/ screening effect: Greater the shielding effect, smaller will be ionization energy and vice versa.

Nature of Orbital: Ionization energy decreases in following order: s>p>d>f

Trends in periodic table:

In general as remove from left right in a period ionization energy of elements increases reason this is due to the fact that nuclear gradually increases and atomic size decreases from left right in the period

Electronegativity

Electronegative is a measure of tenancy of an atom to attract a share pair of electrons towards itself. Units: Electronegativity has no units.

Trends in period in Periodic Table

In Period: On moving from left right in a period electronegativity increases. 

Reason: This is due to fact that nuclear charge gradually increases and atomic size decreases from left right in the period, so smaller atomic size with greater nuclear has greater tendency to a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

e.g., electronegativity of F is higher than Li. 

In a group: On moving from top to bottom in a group, electronegativity  of elements decreases. 

Reason: In a group atomic size of an atom increases due to addition of extra shell, so attraction between nucleus and valance electron decreases. However, nuclear charge also increases but its effect is cancelled with increasing shielding effect down the group. e.g., electronegativity of H is greater than C.

Melting and boiling point:

Melting and boiling points indicates about the strength of force among the atoms, ions or molecule in a substance. In case of element, the value of melting and boiling point are according to the binding forces between particle in that element in the period melting and boiling point are according to the binding forces.

Trends in Periodic Table.

The melting and boiling points are high up to middle because these element have increasing number of bonding electron from group I to group III while Si (silicon) has  a giant structure. 

Melting and boiling points are low from group V (phosphorous) to group VIII (Ar) because these elements exist in the form of simple molecules which have weak intermolecular forces.

Atomic and physical properties of group 1 elements (Alkali metal )

The average distance between  nucleus and valance orbit of an atom are iron is called atomic or ionic radius.

Trends in atomic radius in Periodic Table

As the move from top to bottom in the first group atomic or ionic radii increases.

Reason: This is because an extra shell of electron is added in each element. The other factor in shielding effect. Due to increasing shilling effect, the size of atom also increases.

 Ionization energy

Ionization energy maybe define as ''the minimum amount of energy required to remove one mole of balance electron from one mole of gases atom to produce one mole of uni-positive gaseous is called ionization energy.

 Factors of ionization: Ionization energy depends upon following factors:

i. Atomic size

ii. Nuclear charge

iii. Shielding effect/ screening effect 

iv. Nature of orbital


Trends in Periodic Table

Along the Group 

As we move from top to bottom in a group ionization energy decreases. This is because, as we move from top to bottom in a group the distance of ns electron from nucleus increases so its removal become more and more easy. The other factor is shielding effect. As we go from top to bottom in the group, shielding effect increases which decrease is the force our attraction between valance ns electrons and nucleus of an atom and hence ionization energy decreases

This is why ionization energy of Lithium is very high and case of cesium is very low

Electronegativity

Electronegativity is a measure of tenancy of an atom to attract a share pair of electron towards itself.  It has no units.

Tends in Periodic Table

 On moving from top to bottom in a group electronegativity of elements decreases.

Reason: In a group, atomic size of an atom increases due to addition of extra shell of electrons.  So attraction between nucleus and valence electron decreases. As a result, tendency of an atom to attract valence electrons also decreases. However nuclear charge also increases but its effect is cancelled  out with increasing shielding effect along the group. For example, electronegativity of hydrogen is greater than Cs.

Melting and boiling point

Melting and boiling point of group 1 element decreases down the group. 

Reason: Melting and boiling point decreases down the group because metallic bond becomes weaker as we go from top to bottom in a group. 

Density 

The mass per unit volume of element is called density of an element. Density of alkali metals is quite low due to large atomic volume.  Density of alkali metals decreases with increase in atomic size from Li to Cs. However K is lighter than Na because of unusual increase in atomic size of K.

Chemical Reactions of Alkali Metals

Reaction with water alkali metal

Alkali metals react vigorously with water and release hydrogen gas and metal hydroxide. These reactions are highly exothermic. Hydrogen gas can  be burnt due to heat produced during the chemical reaction that is why alkali metal are stored in paraffin or kerosene oil.

Na   +   H2O -------------->   NaOH   +   H2       +   heat

Reactions reactivity of alkali metal with water increases from top to bottom in a group that's why potassium rubidium season can react with ice at minus 100 degree centigrade. 

Reaction with oxygen:

 Alkali metals react with oxygen or air rapidly to produce their respective oxides.  Lithium give monoxide.

Li    +   O2 ------------> Li2O (normal oxide) 

Sodium reactions, 

Na    +   O2 ------------> Na2O

Na    +   O2 ------------> Na2O2

M    +   O2 ------------> MO2

M= K, Rb, Cs,

Normal oxides of alkali metals other than Lithium are formed by indirect method.

For example, reaction of peroxide, nitrate and nitrite of metal with metal itself produces of normal oxide.

Na2O2   +   Na ----------> Na2O

NaNO2   +   2Na -----------> Na2O    +    N2

NaNO3   +  10Na ----------> Na2O   +   N2

Properties of normal oxides

O2-   +   H2O  ---------->  OH-   +   OH-

O22-   +   2H2O  ---------->  H2O2   +   OH-

2O21-   +  2H2O  ---------->  H2O2   +   O2




 reactions of oxide with water and dilute acid the simple oxides him too reaction with water reaction with dilute acid the simple oxides react with water to give metal Hydroxide the simple side react with an asset to give short and water the peroxides and two O2 reaction with water reaction is dilute acid solution of metal hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide is form hydrogen peroxide from decompose into water and oxygen with water metal hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide reaction with dilute acid hydrogen peroxide oxygen


Reactions of alkali metal with chlorine 

2Na   +   Cl2   --------------->  2NaCl

Lithium and sodium reacts theory with chlorine at room temperature to give lithium chloride (LiCl) and sodium chloride (NaCl).

Molten sodium burns with a brilliant yellow flame in the atmosphere of chlorine to form NaCl. K, Rb and Cs react vigorously with all halogen to form metal halides.

 Effect of heat on nitrates and carbonates 

Metal carbonate are highly stable to heat and  this stability increases from Li to Cs due to increase in electropositive character. 

 Lithium nitrate 


Sodium nitrate

Flame test 

Flame test is an analytical procedure used to detect presence of certain metal ion. It is based on each element characteristics emission spectrum.

Procedure 

Clean a platinum are nichrome (Nickel chromium Alloy) wire by dipping it into hydrochloric acid and then heat it on Bunsen flame until  doesn't produce any color of the flame. When wire is a clean then dip it again in acid and then it into small amount of solid to be tested. Place the wire again on flame and note the color of flame. 


Different colour shown by different elements


Li .....    Crimson red

Sodium ----------------Golden yellow

Potassium --------------violet 

Rbidium ----------------reddisht violet 

Cesium------------------ blue 

Calcium  ----------------brick red 

Strontium ---------------- crimson red 

Barium-------------------grassy green 

Copper -------------------blue green 

Lead-----------------------gyrish white

Origin of flame colour

When metal atom or ion is heated on the Bunsen flame,  electrons are excited to higher energy level by obsorbing some amount of energy.  When these electrons are deexcited,  they release absorb energy in the form of light in visible region of spectrum.  Amount of energy absorbed during excitation process is different in different elements. Different colors are produced by different elements on the flame.

Shielding Effect (Grade 9 Students) and its trend in Periodic Table.

Question: What is shielding  effect? Give its trends in the periodic table. Answer . Shielding Effect  The decrease in force of attraction between nucleus  and valence electrons due to presence of inner shell electrons is called shielding effect.  It is also known as screening effect. It increases with increase in inner shell electrons. For example, Mg has greater shielding effect than Be. This is because Mg has eight more inner-shell electrons than Be. Trend in Periodic Table In period As we move from left to right in a period, shielding effect remains constant. Reason is that the number of inner shell electrons remains constant along the period. In group As we move from top to bottom in a group, shielding effect increases. This is due to fact that the number of inner shell increases and hence, inner shell electrons also increase. For example, Na has greater shielding effect than Li because of eight more inner shell electrons than Li.  Example 3.5 Identi
