Periodic TrendsPeriodic Trends
Periodic TrendsPeriodic Trends• describe characteristicscharacteristics of elements across
periods and among families • are not absoluteabsolute – represent general trends • are based largely on the “shielding effectshielding effect”
Shielding EffectShielding Effect• The protectionprotection provided by the inner corecore
electrons which lessenslessens the nucleus’s pull on the outer valencevalence electrons
• Across a periodAcross a period, it does not playdoes not play a significant role (all elements in a period have valence electrons in the same outermost outermost energy level).
• Down a familyDown a family, it plays an increasingly more significantsignificant role (each family member has an additional layer of corecore electrons, moving the valence valence electrons further awayaway from the nucleus).
Atomic RadiusAtomic Radius
DefinitionDefinition: half the distance between the nuclei of like atoms in a solid TrendTrend: decreases from left to right and increases from top to bottom
ElectronegativitElectronegativityy
DefinitionDefinition: measure of attraction an atom has for a unshared pair of electronsTrendTrend: increases from left to right and decreases from top to bottom (excluding noble gases)
Ionization EnergyIonization EnergyDefinitionDefinition: amount of energy needed to release an electron from a gaseous atomTrendTrend: increases from left to right and decreases from top to bottom
ReactivityReactivityMetals: Metals: are more reactive with small ionization energies, small electronegativity values, and large atomic radii-Trend: down and to the left Francium: most reactive metal
Nonmetals: Nonmetals: are more reactive with large ionization energies, large electronegativity values, and small atomic radii-Trend: up and to the right (excluding noble gases) Fluorine: most reactive nonmetal
