Periodic table

To distinguish different types of atoms we use:


• • •
Atomic number, Z: is the number corresponding to nuclear charge, ie the number o
f protons P in the core. Then Z = P; Mass number or A: is the total number of pr
otons and neutrons N P in the core. Thus: A = P + N. The mass number A defines i
tself the mass of the atom, since electrons have a negligible mass.
Examples
1. Hydrogen (2. Hélio (): 3. Uranium ():):,,,,,,,. ;
Considering an element in its natural state, with electrically neutral atoms, we
have: Number of protons = Z = Z number of electrons Number of neutrons = A - Z
For an atom of element
Z
all represent, we use the following notations:
X or
Z
X
to represent its atomic number and its atomic mass. Example: to have an iron ato
m Fe 26 56.
Isotopes and isobars

Isotopes: atoms are with same number of protons () and different mass number ()
have the same chemical and physical properties differ. Example Hydrogen () has t
hree known isotopes: e;
1. common hydrogen (protium): 1 H 1, 2. deuterium: 1 H 2, and; 3 3. tritium: an
H, with e;

Isobars: are atoms with different numbers of protons (different elements) but th
at have the same mass number () have different chemical and physical properties;
Example Some isotopes of calcium and argon have the same mass number A = 40: 20
Ca 40 and

Isotoner: are atoms that have the same number of neutrons (different elements),
and presenting different, have different chemical and physical properties, boron
and carbon Example:

B 11 (N = 6) and
6
C 12 (N = 6)

Isoelectronic: are atoms that have the same number of electrons (different eleme

Classification of Elements
Döbereiner in 1817 showed the existence of triads of elements with similar chemi
cal properties, where the weight of a bind element was approximately the arithme
tic mean of the atomic weights of the other two. Eg chlorine, bromine and iodine
. Newlands, in 1863, divided the elements in increasing order of atomic weights
in groups of seven, analogous to the second round of music, so this idea was aba
ndoned. Dmitri Mendeleyev in 1869, proposed a table much like the present, but t
hat had the elements arranged in order of increasing atomic weights, this classi
fication defines six unknown elements. Moseley in 1913, found that the chemical
elements in the periodic table should obey an order of increasing atomic number,
and it was up to the current table; In addition to the current table of the ele
ments are placed in order of increasing atomic number, there the following provi
sion:


Period or Series: are the horizontal rows of seven in number and indicate the le
vels (K, L, M, N, O, P, Q); elements of the same period show different chemical
properties. Families: they are the vertical columns of the table, elements of th
e same family have similar chemical properties. Some important families:
o o o
o o
Metal: has one of the three electrons in the outer layer; Non-metal: have 5-7 el
ectrons in the outer layer; Representative Elements: have more energy sublevels
as OSEO P. Are the family and the noble gases with an A, 2 A, 3 A at 8A; Transit
ion Elements: present as higher energy sublevel the sublevel d, even in families
3B 8B; Inner Transition Elements: present as higher energy sublevel the subleve
l f. Are the lanthanides and actinides;
Ions and Valencia
When an atom is a lack or excess of electrons, its net charge is no longer zero,
and call it ion:
• •
Cation: positive ion or atom that has lost one or more electrons; Anion: negativ
e ion or atom that has gained one or more electrons;
The valence of an ionized atom (ion) is defined by the number of electrons remov
ed or added to the atom (ion).
• • • •
monovalent: ion with excess (or lack) of an electron; bivalent: ion with excess
(or lack) of two electrons, trivalent: ion with excess (or lack) of three electr
ons, tetravalent: ion with excess (or lack) of four electrons;
Examples
• • •
Na + is a monovalent cation. O2-is a bivalent anion. Fe3 + is a trivalent.

Periodic Properties
The Periodic Table was developed based on chemical and physical properties of th
e elements, analyzing it, we can get information about them, coming so the impor
tant properties of periods and families (or groups) Chemicals:
Figure 1: The Periodic Table.
Atomic radius or size of the Atom
The factors that determine the size of an atom are the number of electron shell
(Z) and nuclear charge (P). In families: as Z increases, the number of layers in
creases, which leads to increased size of the atom (from top to bottom); In peri
ods: as the increases, the number of layers remains the same, but the nuclear ch
arge increases, the attraction of the nucleus on the peripheral electrons also i
ncreases, resulting in smaller atoms. In a period, the size of the atom increase
s from right to left.
Figure 2. Atomic radius or size of the atom.
Ionization potential
It's a measure of energy supplied to a single atom in a gaseous state to loosen
or remove an electron, forming a gaseous positive ion (cation). The larger the a
tom, the lower ionization energy (Ei), a family the ionization energy increases
from bottom to top. In periods the ionization energy increases from left to righ
t.
Figure 3: Increasing the ionization energy of atoms.
Example
Consider a sample of gaseous sodium (P = 11, Z = 11):
In this case, the ionization energy Ei of sodium is 119 kcal / mol, and the posi
tive sign indicates that energy must be absorbed.
Electron affinity
It's a measure of energy released by a single atom in a gaseous state to receive
an electron, forming gaseous negative ion (anion).
Example
Ionization of chlorine (Cl):
and in this case the energy is released in the reaction. In families the electro
n affinity increases from top to bottom, and at times increases from left to rig
ht.
Figure 4. Atomic radius or size of the atom.
Electronegativity
Property that the atom has a greater or lesser tendency to attract electrons to
itself, resulting from the joint action of the ionization energy (Ei) and the el
ectron affinity, ie, compares the force of attraction exerted by the atom on its
electrons.
Figure 5: Increase in the electronegativity of atoms. In families increases from
bottom to top and at times increases from left to right.
Chemical Reactivity
Is related to the metallic character or non-metallic element. The greater the ab
ility to lose electrons is the more metallic element. The larger the atom the sm
aller the ionization potential (E i) and the lower the electronegativity, and th
us the higher the metallic character and the greater the chemical reactivity of
the metal. The smaller the size of the atom, the greater the electron affinity,
and the higher the electronegativity and the larger non-metallic character, the
greater the chemical reactivity of non-metal.
Figure 6: Increase in chemical reactivity.
Density (ρ)
The density o specific g avity of a body is the atio of its mass volume V, ie,
and its
and is measu ed in kg/m3 in SI, o also in g/cm3. Example: the density of alumin
um (Al) is ρAl = 2.700 g/cm3 = 2700 g/cm3.

Figu e 8: Inc ease of the atomic volume of atoms. In families the atomic volume
inc eases f om top to bottom, and the time inc eases f om the cente to the side

Melting Point (FP)
It is the tempe atu e at which a solid changes f om solid to liquid.
Figu e 9: Inc ease the Melting Point (FP). In families, the Pf inc eases f om to

Chemical Bonds
Stability of Atoms
The noble gases a e the only ones found in natu e as monatomic, ie do not bind,
and p esent themselves in the fo m of atoms. This means that the atom is complet
ely stable. The noble gases (Column 8A of the pe iodic table), except helium hav
e eight elect ons in the oute shell. Noble Gases He (Z = 2) 2 Ne (Z = 10) 2 8 A
(Z = 18) 2 8 18 8 X (Z = 36) 2 August 18 August 18 Xe (Z = 54) 2 8 18 32 Augu
st 18 Rn (Z = 86) 2 8 18 32 32 18 8 Laye valence elect on is the oute most laye
. You can eceive o p ovide elect ons in the bond between atoms. The valence o
f an atom is the numbe of bonds that an atom need to do to get the configu atio
n of a noble gas.
Theo y of Octet
An association was made between the stability of the noble gases and the fact th
ey have eight elect ons in the second laye . Then came the Theo y of Octet: "To
achieve a stable situation, the e is a tendency of atoms to obtain the elect oni
c st uctu e of eight elect ons in the valence shells of noble gas equal to the a
tomic numbe close". In the case of atoms into smalle numbe of elect ons, the
tendency is to each the duet, ie get two elect ons in the last laye , such as h
elium (Z = 2): 1s2. This is the case of hyd ogen and lithium.
Classification of Elements
As fo the elect onic configu ation, we can classify the chemical elements as:
Metals: These a e elements that have less than fou elect ons in the oute shell
. Donate elect ons when making chemical bonds; Non-Metals: These a e elements th
at have mo e than fou elect ons in the oute shell. Receive elect ons when maki
ng chemical bonds; semimetals: A e some elements that sometimes behave like meta
ls and sometimes as nonmetals, ega dless of the numbe of elect ons in the oute
shell; Hyd ogen: No ating, but its tendency is to gain an elect on. The eleme
nts which have fou valence elect ons in the laye can give o eceive elect ons
in bonds. Ca bon,€fo instance, will conduct non-metal, eceiving elect ons. Th
e silicon and ge manium a e semi-metals: eithe cede elect ons, now eceiving.
Ionic binding o Elet ovalente
Ionic bonding occu s when a metal binds to a non-metal o hyd ogen. The metal do
nates elect ons to fo m the cation. The non-metal o hyd ogen eceives elect ons
to fo m an anion. The consequence of the att action between positive ions (cati
ons) and negative (anions) is an o ganized g oup of ions, which we call ionic c
ystal.
Figu e 10. Ionic c ystal
The ionic c ystal is ep esented by a minimum fo mula, ie the minimum numbe of
cations and anions needed fo both cha ges a e neut alized. Fo example the mini
mum fo mula of salt is given by:
NaCl
This st uctu e of high cohesion elect ical in natu e gives the ionic high meltin
g point. Solid does not conduct elect icity. This only occu s if the ions a e f
ee in solution o in molten state (liquid). We set up a fo mula of ionic compoun
d by placing the left and ight the cation anion. We note that the positive and
negative cha ges cancel out. If the cha ges if cancel, the fo mula will be of a
cation to an anion. If the cha ges if cancel, we will use the following t ick:

Metal Link
Occu s between metals. As we know, metal has a tendency to donate elect ons to f
o m cations. The metallic bonding occu s when many atoms of a metal lose elect o
ns at the same time, and the cations fo med a e stabilized by the "cloud''of ele
ct ons that gets a ound.
Analyzing a coppe wi e, excellent conducto of elect icity and heat, we find th

Lewis st uctu es
Lewis is a symbol of a symbol in which elect ons f om the valence shell of an at

that the chlo ine has seven valence elect ons, while the chlo ide ion, eight. A
covalent chemical bond that is fo med by sha ing a pai of elect ons between two
atoms. The Lewis St uctu e of a covalent compound o polyatomic ion shows how
elect ons a e dist ibuted between the atoms in o de to show the connectivity be

f om each hyd ogen, plus the fou ca bon valence elect ons a e pai ed in the st

en itie . To the e force  we call the intermolecular force , they can be of two
type :
• •
Van der Waal  force , hydrogen bond 
Van der Waal  force 
Force  are of low inten ity that fall in dipole-dipole and dipole-dipole induced
nap hot. The polarity of the connection ha  a direction, a direction and inten
ity, can be repre ented by a vector (: vector dipole moment), thi  vector i  or
iented alway  toward  the negative pole to the po itive. For molecule  with more
than two atom , knowing the molecular geometry, you can determine if the molecu
le ha  dipole, ie€in the molecule there i  uneven di tribution of po itive and n
egative charge. Thi  determination i  made taking into account the vector time o
f each call. A  whether or not electric dipole, the molecule  are cla ified a 
polar or nonpolar, re pectively.
Example 
CO2 i  nonpolar (
). See the ymmetry of the molecule in Figure 26.
H2O i  polar (CS2 (ΔE = ± 0) Link 
). See the a ymmetry of the molecule in Figure 28. CO2 (ΔE = ± 1.0) H2O covalent

There exist δ + an δ + an δ-δcentros whose overlap O = C = O δ - δ + δ-
S = C = S
  
Van er Waals forces, ipole- ipole
This type of interaction occurs between polar molecules.
Example
The molecule
.
  
The formationof the ipole is ue to the  ifference in electronegativity betwee
n hy rogen an chlorine. The negative en of one molecule attracts the positive
en of the neighboring molecule. This type of attraction is the same that occurs
in connection iômica, but with much less intensity.
     
Van er Waals forces, ipole- ipole in uce bo ies help 
They are forces of attraction
 that appear in substances
 compose of nonpolar mol
ecules in soli or  liqui . Theelectronic clou  innonpolar molecules
 is uniform
, not showing loa s. This clou can become eforme by outwar action,  or statis
tical fluctuations (collisions)or with increasingpressure an ecreasing tempe
rature, causing then
 an uneven istributionof loa s,  which
 causes the appearanc
e of a temporary ipole. The instantaneous ipole in uce polarization of the ne
ighboring molecule,resulting  in a weak action between them. This type of intera
ction is also calle the  Lon on force, name  after the scientist Fritz Lon on (1
900-1957), who prepare all the theoretical evelopment.
 
Hy rogen
 bri ges  
The hy rogen bon s are
 special
 cases of ipole- ipole interaction, where the  mol
ecular ipole  is fixe an great intensity. This phenomenon occurs when hy rogen
is connecte
 to one of the
 three most electronegative elements - fluorine,
 oxyg
en an nitrogen - as the ifference of electronegativity between hy rogen an th
ese elements is very large.
Example     
The water molecule H2O is a highly polarize (polar) an the hy rogen bon s pro
uce enough force to keep the molecules together in liqui . δ-δ +-H --- The δO

Intermolecular Forces an Boiling Point
: The important factor that influences the boiling point of a substance is the s
izeof the molecule, because thelarger
 the molecule, the easier the occurrence
of istortion of electronic clou , an consequently easier to form clusters, ie
the measure the size of the molecule increases (increase in molecular weight),
 t
he boiling point must also increase. NOTE: For the transition from liqui to gas
eous state is a separation
 of the molecules so the greater the attraction betwee
n molecules in the liqui , the higher the boiling point. The larger the molecule
the easier it is to form clusters.
