Module 3 Periodicity Flashcards
[‘who created the periodic table
mendeleev
how did mendeleev order the elements in the periodic table
in order of atomic mass
how else did mendeleev order the elements in the periodic table
groups of similar properties
why did mendeleev leave gaps in the periodic table
he assumed some elements were yet to be discovered
how did he predicts properties of missing elements
from group trends
how are elements arranged in the periodic table now
linked to their physical and chemical propeties
what is the period (row) of a modern periodic table measured from
from left to right the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number
what is the group of the modern periodic table measured in
every element in the group has the same amount of electrons in the outer shell
what does the number of the period mean
gives the number of the highest energy electron shell in an element’s atom
what is periodicty
a repeating trend in properties of the elements through each period`
describe the trend in electron configuration
across period 2 - the 2s sub-shells fills with two electrons, followed by the 2p sub-shell with six electrons
across period 3 - same pattern but also filling 3s and 3p sub shells
what are the 4 blocks in the periodic table
s p d f
what are the blocks
elements divided corresponding to their highest energy sub-shell
what is ionisation energy
measures how easily an atom loses electrons to form positive ions
what is the first ionisation energy
the energy required to remove one electron from each atom in one mole of gaseous atoms of an element to form one mole of gaseous 1+ ions
what has the nucleus got to do with ionisation energy?
electrons are held in their shells by attraction from the nucleus, so the first electron lost is the highest energy level and will have the least attraction to the nucleus
what three factors affect the attraction between the nucleus and outer electrons of an atom
atomic radius
nuclear charge
electron shielding
how does the atomic radius affect ionisation energy
the greater the distance between the nucleus and the outer electrons, the less the nuclear attractiom`
how does nuclear charge affect ionisation energy
the more protons there are in the nucleus of an atom, the greater the attraction between the nucleus and the outer electrons
how does electron shielding affect ionisation energy
electrons are negatively charged and so inner-shell electrons repel outer-shell electrons.w
what is the shielding eefect
the effect of when inner shell electrons repel outer shell electrons which reduce the attraction between the nucleus and the outer electrons.
what is the second ionisation energy
the energy required to remove one electron from each atom in one mole of gaseous 1+ ions of an element to form one mole of gaseous 2+ ions
what is the trend in successive ionisation energies
increase of energy is required
explain the trend of successive ionisation energies
- electron ratio increases and the ion gets smaller, attraction of electron to nucleus increases
- the big jump suggests it is removing an electron closer to the nucleus
