Gaseous State particles are separated from each other by distance far greater than their own size; particles have no forces between the particles. particles are not in an orderly arrangement; particles can vibrate, rotate and move freely within the container; particles have more energy (compared to liquids and solids); particles are in constant random motion, moving in straight lines; particles collide (elastic) with the walls of the container, they exert a pressure on the container and there is no loss of kinetics energy during the collision; gases are easily compressed; gases have no fixed shape (take the shape of the container); gases have no fixed volume. Kinetics Theory of Gases describe the behaviour of ideal gas. the average kinetics energy of gases particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas (Kelvin). four assumptions associated with this theory: i.) particles are small compared to the distances between particles that their volumes are negligible. ii.) particles move in straight lines. The direction of a particles motion is changed only by its collision with either another molecule or the walls of the container. All the collisions are to be elastic (no loss of energy). iii.) particles are in constant random motion. Gas pressure is only caused by collisions of the particles against the walls of the container. iv.) Gas molecules exhibit no intermolecular forces. The particles neither attract nor repel one another. Gas Laws three common gas laws to know: Avogadros Law, Boyles Law and Charles Law A, B and C laws of gases. 1. Avogadros Law Amedeo Avogadro (1811) equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules. V / n = k (a constant) V1 / n 1 = V2 / n 2 Where n = number of moles of gas * Molar volume of a gas (volume occupied by 1 mol of any gas) at standard temperature and pressure 3 -1 (s.t.p.) is 22.4 dm (Condition: 0C / 273 K and 101.3 kNm / 1 atm.). 2. Boyles Law Robert Boyle (1662) the volume occupied by fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature. applies under isothermal conditions in a closed container. pV = k (a constant) p1 V1 = p2 V2 * Real gases obey Boyles law only at low pressures and high temperatures (ideal gas or perfect gas). * Real gases do not obey Boyles law at high pressures and low temperatures (non-ideal behaviour). 3. Charles Law Jacques Charles (1780) the volume occupied by fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature at constant pressure. V / T = k (a constant) V1 / T 1 = V2 / T 2 * Temperature is the absolute temperature ( -273C / 0 K) * Absolute temperature scale (Kelvin scale) as the temperature -273C was adopted as the zero. Ideal Gas Equation Combining Avogrados law, Boyles law and Charles law Ideal gas equation: pV = nRT -1 -1 where R is a constant and its value of 8.31 J mol K -2 pressure: Pa or Nm (1 atm = 101 kPa)
volume: m (1 cm = 1 x 10 m ; 1 dm = 1 x 10 m ) temperature: K n = m / Mr where m = mass of gas and M r = relative molecular mass of gas m/V= where = density of a gas 4. Daltons Law the total pressure of a mixture of gases do not react is the sum of the partial pressures of the constituent gases on the mixture. PT = PA + PB + PC + where PT = total pressure of the mixture and PA, P B, P C = partial pressure of gases A, B and C. Mole fraction of A (X A) in a mixture of A and B = (number of moles of A) / (total number of moles of A + B) = nA / (nA + nB) PA = PT x XA where PT = total pressure, P A = partial pressure of gas A, X A = mole fraction of gas A 5. Deviation from Ideal Behaviour Factors: pressure temperature molecular size intermolecular forces Positive deviation (volume of gas molecules): low pressures (molecules are very far apart volume of the gas molecules by comparison is extremely small and can be ignored) high pressures (molecules are closer together volume of the gas molecules cannot be ignored) Negative deviation (intermolecular forces of attraction): low temperature (intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecu les will reduce the force exerted by the impact of the molecules collide the wall of container. Pressure exerted by the gas is reduced). high temperature (kinetics energy of the molecules is so high that the intermolecular forces between gas molecules can be ignored). Negative deviation (polar bonds) Least deviation hydrogen gas (small molecular size and non-polar. It possesses very weak intermolecular forces of attraction). Marked deviation from ideal behaviour carbon monoxide gas (polar bonds. It possesses stronger intermolecular forces) Gas Pressure the force per unit area exerted by a gas through collisions against a defined area of the container wall. (Gas molecules collide more frequently with the container wall gas pressure increases) Collision Frequency the rate at which molecules in the gas system collide with each other and the wall of the container. (Collision frequency when temperature , concentration of gas particle , mean free path ) Collision force the force exerted by a gas particle during collision between it and the container wall. (greater momentum and shorter time of contact increase the force of impact) Collision force can be increased by temperature increase greater velocity & greater momentum Volume region within the walls of a container. (actual volume that a gas molecule can occupy is the volume of the container minus the volume of the other gas molecules, because no two gas molecules can occupy the same volume at the same time.) Concentration (gas) the number of gas particles per unit volume in a container. (Homogeneous gas used to determine the gas concentration) Mean Free Path the average distance a particle can travel before colliding with another particle. Temperature (gas) total kinetic energy of a system. Average Kinetic Energy the mean energy of a particle in that system. (energy of each particle , average kinetic energy temperature)

Particles move faster when liquid is heated. The vibrations of the particles increase when temperature of the hot liquid increases. The particles in the solid acquired sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the attraction forces between particles. The particles break away from one another. Solid has become liquid. Velocity of the particle increase when Temperature increase Kinetic energy increase Crystal lattice regular arrangement of atoms, molecules or ions in a crystalline solid. Unit cell a small repeating unit that contains a group of particles (atoms, ions or molecules) in a crystal. There are 7 crystal systems ( primitive unit cells all the lattice points are placed at the corners of the cell only): Unit cell Characteristics Example Cubic a = b = c<a = <b = <c = 90 Sodium chloride Tetragonal a = b not = c<a = <b = <c = 90 Tin Orthorhombic a not = b not = c<a = <b = <c = 90 Rhombic sulphur Monoclinic a not = b not = c<a = <b = 90<c not = 90 Monoclinic sulphur Triclinic a not = b not = c<a not = <b not = <c not = 90 Copper(II) sulphate, potassium dichromate(VI) Rhombohedral a = b = c<a = <b = <c not = 90 Calcite (calcium carbonate) Hexagonal a = b not = c<a = <b = 90<c = 120 Quartz, graphite Four types of lattice points: Lattice point at the corner of the unit cell (1/8) Lattice point on the edge of the unit cell (1/4) Lattice point on the face of the unit cell (1/2) Lattice point in the centre of the unit cell (1) Coordination number the number of atoms, molecules or ions (called the nearest neighbours) that surrounds a given atom, molecule or ion in a crystal lattice. A) Simple cubic cell Example: Caesium chloride & Polonium Sphere touches six other spheres. Four sphere in its own layer, one sphere above the layer and one sphere below the layer. Coordination number = 6 Unit cell contains in total one atom (8 corners x 1/8 = 1) B) Body-centre cubic lattice Example: Sodium, Barium, Potassium, Iron, Manganese, Chromium & Vanadium Sphere touches eight other spheres. Second layer are placed in the hollows between the spheres in the first layer. Each sphere atom is in contact with four atoms in the layer above and four atoms in the layer below. Coordination number = 8 Unit cell contains in total of two lattice points per unit cell (8 corners x 1/8 + 1 = 2) C) Close-packed structures Example: Sodium chloride Unit cell contains in total of four atoms per unit cell (8 corners x 1/8) + (6 faces x 1/2) i) Cubic close packing (ABCABCABC) / Face-centered cubic / Simple cubic close packing Thomas Harriot (1585) first pondered the mathematics of the ca nnonball arrangement or cannonball stack, which has a face-centered cubic lattice. Sphere touches twelve other spheres. First layer of spheres is packed as closely and each sphere atom is in contact with six other atoms. Second layer of spheres is placed on top of the first layer, so that each sphere in the second layer rests on the hollows between the spheres in the first layer. Each sphere atom is in contact with six atoms in its own layer, three spheres (atoms) in the layer above and three spheres (atoms) in the layer below. Coordination number = 12
ii) Hexagonal close packing (ABABABABA) Sphere touches twelve other spheres. First layer and the second layer of spheres are packed in the same way as cubic close packing. (Difference = the third layer of spheres is placed on top of the first layer) Coordination number = 12 Allotropy existence of elements in two or more different forms (allotropes). Elements with variable of coordination number or oxidation states tend to exhibit greater numbers of allotropic forms and typically more noticeable in non-metal (excluding the halogens and the noble gases) and metalloids. Example: i) Different molecular configuration Oxygen O2 dioxygen (colourless), O3 trioxygen / ozone (blue), O 4 tetraoxygen, O 8 octaoxygen (red) ii) Different crystal structures in the solid Group 14, Group 15, Group 16 of the periodic table Group 14: Carbon graphite, amorphous carbon (soot/coal), diamond, fullerenes C 60 (buckyball), Ionsdaleite / hexagonal diamond (meteorites containing graphite strike to the Earth) and carbon nanotubes (buckytubes) is carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure. Group 15: Phosphorus red phosphorus (polymeric solid), white phosphorus (crystalline solid P4), scarlet phosphorus, violet phosphorus, black phosphorus (semiconductor) and diphosphorus P 2 . Group 16: Sulphur rhombic sulphur (large crystals composed of S 8 molecules), monoclinic sulphur (fine needle-like crystals), plastic (amorphous) sulphur (polymeric solid) and other ring molecules S 7 and S12 . Enantiotropy the allotropes are stable over a temperature range, with a definite transition point at which one changes into the other. Example: i) Tin has three allotropes / two enantiotropy: alpha tin is white (metallic) tin stable above 13.2 C. beta tin is grey (nonmethallic) tin below 13.2 C. gamma tin is rhombic tin. ii) Iron has four allotropes / four enantiotropy : ferrite (alpha iron) stable below 770C (BCC) and the iron becomes magnetic. beta iron stable below 912C (BCC). gamma irons stable below 1394C (FCC) crystal structure. delta irons stable from cooling down molten iron below 1538C and has a (BCC) crystal structure. *BCC Body-centred cubic *FCC Face-centred cubic Allotropes of Carbon i) Graphite used as lubricant (powder or oily suspension) layered lattice structure hexoganal for the crystal system -3 density is 2.25 g cm 2 each carbon atom is bonded by strong covalent bonds (sp hybridisation / trigonal planar) with three other carbon atoms to formed hexagonal ring. the layer are held together by weak van der Waals forces. graphite is soft and slippery due to weak van der Waals forces allow the layer to slide over one another. graphite is a moderate conductor of electricity along its layer (in the direction parallel but not perpendicular to the laver) due to a free electron (per carbon atom) which can move throughout the solid lattice. (Each carbon atom has one outer shell electron (unhybridised p electron) which is not used to form covalent bonds.) ii) Diamond used as abrasives (high velocity cutting tools) and ornaments (high refractive index) crystallises in a face-centred cubic structure. single giant molecule. -3 density is 3.50 g cm 3 each carbon atom is bonded by strong covalent bonds (sp hybridisation / tetrahedral) with four other carbon atoms to formed three-dimensional giant structure. diamond has great hardness and high melting point due to the strong covalent bonds in the 3 -D structure.
diamond is a non-conductor of electricity due to all the four valence electrons of the c arbon atoms are involved with covalent bonding, therefore no free/delocalised electrons. iii) Fullerene / Buckyball / Buckminsterfullerene used as lubricant, semi-conductor, superconductors and catalyst Molecular formulae of fullerene are C 20 (smallest member), C 32, C60 (most common member), C 70 , C76 , C78, C84 and C90. spherical molecules of 20 90 carbon atoms (32 sides, 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons). simple molecular solid. 2 each carbon atom is bonded by strong covalent bonds (sp hybridisation / trigonal planar) with three other carbon atoms. It also contains delocalised electrons which does not exhibit superaromaticity that the electrons in the hexagonal rings do not delocalise over the whole molecule. Fullerene is a superconductor when it mixed with other metals. Allotropes of Sulphur (different molecular arrangement) i) alpha sulphur / rhombic sulphur (large crystals composed of S 8 molecules) lemon yellow colour shape of an octahedron. crystallises with the orthorhombic lattice. more stable at room temperature (formed in temperature below 95.6C). melting point at 113C. 3 density is 2.07 g cm . ii) beta sulphur / monoclinic sulphur (fine needle-like crystals of S 8 molecules) deeper yellow colour shape of long, narrow and thin needle. crystallises with the monoclinic lattice. stable at temperature above 95.6C. melting point at 119C. 3 density is 1.94 g cm . Summary: Definition of the states of matter State Shape of substance Volume of substance Solid Definite Definite Liquid Indefinite Definite Gas Indefinite Indefinite Phase refers to a single homogeneous physical state of a heterogeneous system. There are three phases with the same composition solid, liquid and gas. Triple point the point of a condition of temperature and pressure at which the solid, liquid and vapour phases exist simultaneously at equilibrium. Critical point is the highest temperature and highest pressure at which there is a difference between liquid and vapour states. At either a temperature or a pr essure over the critical point, only a single fluid state exists, and there is a smooth transition from a dense, liquid -like fluid to a tenuous, gas-like fluid/or pressure that is required to liquefy a gas at its critical temperature. Supercooling metastable condition where a liquid can exist below its freezing point. Phase Diagrams In laboratory, experiments are being carried out on two environmental factors which is temperature and pressure (referred to as independent variables). A) The Phase Diagram of Water - ice (solid), water (liquid) and water vapour / steam (gas) Vapour Pressure Curve - critical point = critical temperature (374C) and critical pressure (200 atmospheres) - temperature above 374C and critical pressure 200 atmospheres, the vapour and liquid are indistinguishable (no longer two separate phases) because the densities of the gas and liquid are equal (meniscus separating a liquid from its vapour disappears). Melting Temperature Curve - melting temperature point decrease with pressure- supercooling is the cooling of a liquid to below its freezing point without a change taking place from the liquid to the solid state. A phenomenon (metastable condition) shows the vapour pressure of water below its freezing point.
Triple Point -2 - Water triple point is at temperature 0.01C and pressure 0.006 atm (610 N m ). All the three phases (ice, water and water vapour) coexist at equilibrium. Normal Melting Temperature Point - the temperature at which both the solid and the liquid states of the substance exist in equilibrium at a -2 pressure of 1 atm (101 kNm ) Normal Freezing Temperature Point - the temperature at which both the liquid and the solid states of the substance exist in equilibrium at a -2 pressure of 1 atm (101 kNm ) Unsual Behaviour of Water i) Why ice can float? - the volume of water increase when the change of phase from liquid to solid. Reasons: Ice (solid) has an open structure (hydrogen bond). ii) Why the melting temperature curve slopes to the left (melting point de creases with pressure)? - (In most of substances (except water), an increase in pressure will push the molecules even closer / Increase in pressure favours the physical state which is higher density) Reasons: Increasing the pressure favours the formation of liquid water due to the latent heat of fusion is absorbed from the surroundings during melting. B) The Phase Diagram of Carbon Dioxide - solid carbon dioxide (dry ice), liquid carbon dioxide and gas carbon dioxide Vapour Pressure Curve critical point = critical temperature (374C) and critical pressure (217 atmospheres) - temperature above 374C and critical pressure 217 atmospheres, the vapour and liquid are indistinguishable because the densities of the gas and liquid are equal. At this point, carbon di oxide gas can be liquefied. Melting Temperature Curve - melting temperature point increase with pressure - melting temperature curve slopes to the right - density of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is higher than the density of liquid carbon dioxide. It is because the carbon dioxide molecules are held closer together (smaller volume). - Increasing the pressure favours the formation of solid carbon dioxide due to the latent heat of fusion is liberated (given out) to the surroundings. Triple Point - Carbon dioxide triple point is at temperature -57C and pressure 5.1 atm. All the three phases (solid, liquid and gas) coexist at equilibrium. Normal Sublime Temperature Point - the temperature at which both the solid and the gas states of the substance exist in equilibrium at a -2 pressure of 1 atm (101 kNm ) - at atmospheric pressure, solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) sublimes to form carbon dioxide gas at -78C. Important Points of Water Phase Diagram and Carbon Dioxide Phase Diagram Water Carbon dioxide Phase Diagram ice, water and water vapour / solid carbon dioxide (dry ice), liquid steam carbon dioxide and gas carbon dioxide Vapour Pressure Curve Critical Point = 374C and 200 Critical Point = 374C and 217 atmospheres atmospheres Triple Point 0.01C and 0.006 atm -57C and 5.1 atm Melting Temperature Curve Increasing the pressure Increasing the pressure favours the favours the formation of liquid formation of solid carbon dioxide water Difference between the three phases: Solid Liquid Gas Least kinetic energy (vibration More energetic than solid, yet Most kinetic energy (translation, and rotational forms and do not not as energetic than gas vibrational and rotation forms) change their positions) (translation, vibrational and rotational forms)
Solid a state having both a definite shape (fixed lattice structure) and a definite volume. Unit cell repeating structure subunits of a solid molecule (fixed lattice structure / crystal structure). Solid Simple cubic One atom per repeating unit cell Body-centred cubic Two atoms per repeating unit cell Face-centred cubic Four atoms per repeating unit cell Liquid a state having a definite volume but no definite shape. Liquid Intermolecular forces Hydrogen bond Polar interaction Dipole moments Van der Waals Strongest Strong yet Strong yet weaker than Weakest weaker than hydrogen bond and hydrogen bond polar interaction Surface tension the resistance of a liquid to an increase in its surface area. Viscosity the resistance of a liquid to flow / the resistance to flow by an object through the liquid. Summary of phase change : Phase Change Term Liquid to gas Vaporisation Gas to liquid Condensation Solid to liquid Melting Liquid to solid Freezing Solid to gas Sublimation Gas to solid Deposition Isothermal conditions where the temperature of a system does not change. Supercritical fluid Beyond critical point, it is impossible to distinguish between a gas and liquid. Normal boiling point temperature at which a material boils when the pressure is 1.00 atm.
The electrons in an atom can exist at certain energy level. The electron nearest to the nucleus has the lowest energy. The further the electron from the nucleus, the higher the energy. Excited state: sufficient energy (heating or electricity discharge) is needed to promote an electron from a lower energy level to higher one. The electron will not remain at the high energy level because it is unstable. Therefore, it will fall back to the level from it started or to the intermediate level. It will lose an amount of energy (energy = difference between the two energy levels). Convergence of the spectral lines difference between successive energy levels becomes smaller with the increasing distance of the energy levels from the nucleus. Quantum radiation small amount of radiation emitted by an electron when it falls from higher to a lower energy level. Plancks equation: E = E1 E2 = hf = h (c / ) -34 where = wavelength, h = Plancks constant = 6.63 X 10 Js, 8 -1 c = speed of light = 3.00 X 10 ms E = difference in energy of two energy levels (quantum of radiation) First ionisation energy minimum energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of the atoms of an element in the gaseous state. + Example: M > M + e Ground state is the energy level nearest to the nucleus and it is the lowest possible energy state. Calculation for the Ionisation Energy of Hydrogen (Convergence limit in Balmer serier) Step 1: Find frequency difference between the successive lines in the series. Step 2: Plot a graph of frequency difference (y-axis) against the lower frequency (x-axis). Step 3: Extrapolate the graph to obtain the frequency (x -axis) when frequency difference = 0 (convergence limit) Step 4: Calculate the ionisation energy by using E = hf Atomic orbital the region, or volume, of space in an atom within the high probability (95% chance) of finding an electron in an atom. Neil Bohr developed the model of atomic structure assuming that the electrons in an atom are in constant motion around the nucleus in circular orbits. Heisenberg uncertainty principle states the position and momentum (mass x velocity) of an electron cannot be known with great precision. Charged particles in motion create magnetic fields, therefore it is possible to learn about the pathway and position of the moving electron. Types of orbital: s, p, d and f orbital Core shell first shell that holds two electrons Valence shell the outermost shell Effective nuclear charge (Nuclear attraction) accounts for (increases from left to ri ght of the periodic table): i) attraction to the nucleus ii) repulsion from core electrons iii) minimal repulsion by other valence electrons Ionisation energy is influenced by: i) nuclear charge (nuclear charge increases, the force of attraction on the electrons becomes stronger and the ionisation energy increases.) ii) distance of the electrons from the nucleus (further the outer electrons are from the nucleus, ionisation energies will be lower.) iii) screening effect (outermost electrons in an atom are shielded from the attraction of the nucleus by the repelling effect of the inner effect. The higher the screening effect, lower the ionization energies.) Electronic Structure 2 Number of electrons in shell = 2(n) Example: Lithium atom. Nucleus = made up of both neutrons and protons st Core shell = 1 energy level (electron occupancy of 2) nd Valence shell = 2 energy level (electron occupancy up to 8 ) Arrangement of electrons in an atom Aufbau principle Electrons occupy orbitals with the lowest energy level first
Pauli exclusion principle Each orbital can hold maximum of two electrons with opposite spin Hunds rule Orbital with the same energy level (degenerate orbitals), electron will occupy different orbital singly/one electron first the parallel spin, before pairing Electronic Configurations The electrons are filled according the orbitals (Aufbau principle). 2 Fills the 1s orbital to: 1s 2 Fills the 2s orbital to: 2s 6 2 Fills the 2p then 3s orbitals to: 2p 3s 6 2 Fills the 3p then 4s orbitals to: 3p 4s 10 6 2 Fills the 3d, 4p then 5s orbitals to: 3d 4p 5s (Extended knowledge: the process is repeated until all of the electrons have been accounted for. g -, h- and j-orbital exist in theory but the periodic table contains no elements that have electrons in either g -, h- and jorbitals.) The first break from numerical sequencing comes when the 4s level is filled before the 3d level, despite the fact that the perimeter of the 3d level is closer to the nucleus than the 4s orbital. The reason is that the energy of the level is based on an average position of the electron, not the extreme position. Ionising electrons are not removed from the atom in reverse order! However, the outer shell electrons are always removed first when forming cations. Examples Example 1: Electronic configuration for manganese. -> Solution 1: Neutral manganese (Mn) atom must contain 25 electrons. 2 2 6 2 6 2 5 Electronic configuration of Mn: 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d Example 2: Which column of the periodic table is diamagnetic? -> Solution 2: Column 2 (alkaline earth metals) and Column 8 (noble gas). A diamagnetic compound has its entire electron spin-paired. There must be an even number of electrons in the element. Valence electronic 2 2 6 configuration for alkaline earth metals is ns . Valence electronic configuration for noble gas is ns np . Column 1 (alkali metals) and Column 7 (halogen) are not diamagnetic. 2 4 Column 6 (chalcogen) are paramagnetic. Valence electronic configuration for chalcogen is ns np . Example 3: Electronic configuration for chromium -> Solution 3: 2 2 6 2 6 1 5 2 2 6 2 6 2 4 Half-filled d-shell stability in chromium: 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d rather than 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d . (Others half-filled d-shell element are molybdenum and tungsten) Example 4: Electronic configuration for copper. -> Solution 4: 2 2 6 2 6 1 10 2 2 6 2 6 2 9 Fully-filled d-shell stability in copper: 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d rather than 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d . Example 5: Which of the following electronic configuration represents an exited state? 2 A. He: 1s 2 1 B. Li: 1s 2p 2 2 3 C. N: 1s 2s 2p 2 2 6 D. F: 1s 2s 2p -> Solution 5: 2 1 B (Li should have 1s 2s as a ground state and the electronic configuration has the last electron in a 2p orbital that is higher energy than the ground state 2s.) An excited state electronic configuration does not follow energetic sequence. An excited state has at least one electron in an energy level higher than the ground state. Important: Not to confuse an ion (either cation or anion) with an excited state. A cation is an atom that has a deficit of at least one electron and thus carries a positive charge. An anion is an atom th at has an excess of at least one electron and thus carries a negative charge.

All actinide elements are radioactive. Atomic Radius half the distance between the nuclei of the two closest atoms in an element. Atomic Radii decrease across a period from left to right in the periodic table & increase down a group in the periodic table. Ionic Radius measure of the size of an atoms ion in a crystal lattice. Cation is smaller than the corresponding metal atom and anion is larger than the corresponding nonmetal atom. Electronegativity measures the ability of an atom to attract to itself the electron pair forming a covalent bond. The greater the electronegativity of an atom, the greater the atom attraction for electrons. Ionisation Energy of an Atom measures of its tendency to lose electrons. The larger the ionisation energy, the more difficult it is to remove an electron. Atomic radii for elements in Periods 2 and 3 Elements Atomic radius (pm) Li 152 Be 112 B 80 C 77 N 74 O 74 F 72 Na 156 Mg 136 Al 125 P 110 S 104 Cl 99 Atomic radii can be classified into three categories: Covalent radius: Metallic radius Van der Waals radius Effecting factors of the atomic radius: Screening effect of the inner shell electrons: negatively-charged shells repel one another and are being pushed further away from the nucleus; screening effect increase; and size of the atoms increase. Nuclear charge (number of protons in the nucleus) that pulls all the electrons closer to the nucleus: The higher the nuclear charge; the stronger the attraction between nucle us and the electron cloud; and the size of the atom decrease. Effective nuclear charge = No. of protons No. of inner electrons A) Atomic radius across a period Example: Period 2 (Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, Ne) and Period 3 (Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar) Across the period:
Number of protons increase by one. Number of electrons increase by one. Screening effect does not affect much (same quantum shell). Nuclear charge increase (stronger attraction between nucleus and electron cloud). Size of the atoms decrease. B) Atomic radius down a group Example: Group 2 (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) Down the group: Screening effect increase. Nuclear charge increase. Effective nuclear charge decrease. Size of the atoms increase (the increase in the screening effect is larger than the increase in the nuclear charge). C) Ionic radius (radius of a cation or or an anion) across Period 3 Ion Ionic radius No. of electrons No. of protons + Na 0.095 10 11 2+ Mg 0.065 10 12 3+ Al 0.050 10 13 3P 0.212 18 15 2S 0.184 18 16 Cl 0.181 18 17 Isoelectronic species have the same number of electrons and the same electronic configuration. + 2+ 3+ 32When given number of electrons (Na , Mg , Al ) or (P , S , Cl ) higher the nuclear charge, higher the force of attraction smaller the atomic size or ionic size. When given nuclear charge, larger the number of electrons in an atom or an ion, greater the repulsion between electrons larger the atomic or ionic size. Conclusion: Cationic size decreases (increasing proton number). Anionic size decreases (increasing proton number). D) Ionic radius down a group 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ - Example: Group 2 (Be , Mg , Ca , Sr , Ba ) & Group 17 (F , Cl , Br , I ) Going down the Group 2 and Group 17: Each successive ion has one additional shell filled with electrons. Screening effect increase Ionic size increase.
