3.1 Periodic Table The Properties of the elements display certain regularities: classification is possible. Group, period, main-group elements (representative elements), transition metal elements, lanthanides, actinides, metal, non-metal, semi-metal
3.2 Ionization Energies and the Shell Model of Atom IONIZATION ENERGY : a measure of the stability of the electron configuration of the free atom X(g) X + (g) + e - X + (g) X 2+ (g) + e - Periods-2 atoms have very stable He-like inner core Existence of the SHELL And then, less tightly bound electrons Periods-3 atoms have very stable Ne-like inner core And then, less tightly bound electrons
Now, we can classify electrons into core and valence electrons. Valence Shell (partially filled shell) valence electrons form chemical bonds Chemical reaction Inner shell - core electrons Lewis dot symbol Nucleus.. Si.. Group number = the number of valence electrons
3.2 Ionization Energies and the Shell Model of Atom First Ionization energy X(g) X + (g) + e - ΔE = IE 1 ΔE = [energy of products] [energy of reactants] = E[X + (g) + e - ] E[X(g)] IONIZATION ENERGY : a measure of the stability of the electron configuration of the free atom Periodicity as the periodic table
Electron Affinity (EA): the energy released when an electron is attached X(g) + e - X - (g) EA = -ΔE For free atoms, the ability to lose an electron: ionization energy the ability to gain an electron: electron affinity Electronegativity is the average of ionization E and electron affinity, and this indicate the net tendency of the atom to attract eletrons when it forms a chemical bond with another atom. 3.3 Electronegativity : the tendency of atoms to attract electrons Electronegativity (Mulliken) ½(IE 1 + EA)
Electronegativity in the periodic Table Electron Acceptor Electron Donor For chemical bonding large difference of electronegativity Ionic bond by Coulomb stabilization Energy small difference of electronegativity Covalent bond by electron sharing
Ionic Bonding Coulomb Stabilization Energy K + + F - IE 1 (K) EA(F) > 0 K + F ΔE = [Q 1 Q 2 ]/[4πε 0 R] = ([Q 1 Q 2 ]/[4πε 0 R])*(N A /10 3 ) (J per ion pair) (kj per mole)

The Shape of Molecules: VSEPR theory Arrangement that minimizes repulsions Steric number of the central atom (SN) =(# of atoms bonded) + (# of lone pairs on central atom)
Fine Tuning of Molecular geometries Lone pair interaction stronger than bonding pair - distortion of the structure For CH 3 Cl, C-Cl is relatively electron deficient, Making C-Cl bond is less repulsive than others.
