PERIODIC PROPERTIES AND VARIATIONS OF PROPERTIES (PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL)

BOOSTER

* In every chemistry classroom and laboratory, you will see Periodic Table of the elements on the wall, because in learning chemistry and in solving chemistry problems, no other source of information is used as often. In its symbols and numbers, and most of all in its structure, the Periodic Table contains information about the chemical behaviour of the elements and about the masses, compositions and structures of their atoms.

* In the beginning of the development of chemistry only a few elements were known. But with the discovery of new elements their number went on increasing gradually and it became inconvenient to remember and study the chemistry of so many elements. This condition led to the necessity of classification of elements so as to facilitate the study of chemistry. The arrangement of the elements according to their similarities and dissimilarities resulted in the formation of Periodic Table . The periodic arrangement of known elements according to their properties in a tabular form is known as Periodic Table.

The Modern Periodic Law states that the physical and chemical properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.

*  In the Modern Periodic Table , there are 7 Periods and 18 Groups .

* Groups I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and 0 (zero) represent various Groups. Groups I to VII are divided in sub-groups A and B.

* Elements of zero Group are called Nobel gases and or inert gases.

* Electron shells increase progressively by one down a Group .

* Elements in the same Group have the same number of electrons in their outermost shells.  As a result, elements in the same Group have similar chemical properties.

*  Elements in the same Period have the same number of electron shells. Electrons in the outermost shell increases progressively by one across a Period.

Periodic properties and their Variations in Periods and Groups 
Atomic size or Atomic Radius: 
Atomic radius is the distance between the centre of the nucleus of an atom and its outermost shell containing the electrons. It is measured in Angstrom, abbreviated as A°. 1 A°= 10⁻¹⁰m. The atomic size of the elements decreases in a Period from left to right. The atomic size of elements increases from top to bottom in a Group .

Ionization Potential (I. P) or Ionization Energy (I. E):
Ionization potential is the amount of energy required to remove a loosely bound electron from the outermost shell of an isolated gaseous atom. it is measured in electron volt (eV). The energy required to remove the first electron is called first ionization potential. The energy required to remove the second electron is called the second ionization potential. Second ionisation potential is more than the first ionization potential. The ionization potential increases on moving from left to right in a Period. It decreases on moving from top to bottom in a Group .

Electron affinity(E. A) or Electron Gain Enthalpy: 
Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an electron is added to the outermost shell of an isolated gaseous neutral atom. It is measured in electron volt (eV). Since energy liberated, we use minus (-1) . For example, the electron affinity of chlorine is -3.82 eV. The electron affinity increases in a Period on moving from left to right. It decreases in a Group when we move from top to bottom .

Electronegativity (E. N): Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract shared pair of electronr towards itself. Electronegativity increases across a Period. It decreases from top to bottom in a Group.

Metallic Character: It is the property of an atom to lose one or more electrons on heating. It decreases on moving left to right across a Period, and increasees from top to bottom on moving down a Group.

Non-metallic Character:  It is the property of an atom to gain one or more electrons in order to attain octate in their outermost shell, when supplied with energy. Non-metallic character increases in a Period as we move from left to right, and it decreases in a Group on moving down from top to bottom.

*  Alkali Metals : Alkali metals are those elements which follow immediately after the inert gases in the Periodic Table. They consist of 6 elements, Li( lithium), Na(sodium), K(potassium), Rb(Rubidium), Cs(Cesium) and Fr(Francium).

c) React with halogen to form a stable binary compound.
For example, 2Na + Cl₂ ---> 2NaCl.

d) React with hydrogen to form white crystalline compounds.
