The chemical reactivity of the elements is largely determined


by their valence electrons, which are the outermost
electrons. For the representative elements, the valence
electrons are those in the highest occupied n shell. All
nonvalence electrons in an atom are referred to as core
electrons. Looking at the electron configurations of the
representative elements once again, a clear pattern
emerges: all the elements in a given group have the same
number and type of valence electrons. The similarity of the
valence electron configurations is what makes the elements
in the same group resemble one another in chemical
behavior..
7
Thus, for instance, the alkali metals (the Group 1A
elements) all have the valence electron configuration
of ns1 (Table 8.1) and they all tend to lose one electron to
form the unipositive cations
Similarly, the alkaline earth metals (the Group 2A
elements) all have the valence electron configuration of
ns2, and they all tend to lose two electrons to form the
dipositive cations
8
Valence electrons are the outer shell electrons of an
atom. The valence electrons are the electrons that
particpate in chemical bonding.

All of these anions also have stable noble gas


configurations. Notice that F−, Na+, and Ne (and Al3+, O2−,
and N3−) have the same electron configuration. They are
said to be isoelectronic because they have the same
number of electrons, and hence the same ground-state
electron configuration. Thus, H− and He are also
isoelectronic.

Example 8.2 (1 of 2)

Referring to a periodic table, arrange the following


atoms in order of increasing atomic radius: P, Si, N.

© McGraw-Hill Education. 3-16


Example 8.2 (2 of 2)
Strategy
What are the trends in atomic radii in a periodic group and in a particular period?
Which of the preceding elements are in the same group? in the same period?

Solution
From Figure 8.1 we see that N and P are in the same group (Group 5A).
Therefore, the radius of N is smaller than that of P (atomic radius increases as we
go down a group).

Both Si and P are in the third period, and Si is to the left of P. Therefore, the
radius of P is smaller than that of Si (atomic radius decreases as we move from
left to right across a period).

Thus, the order of increasing radius is


N < P < Si

Example 8.3 (1 of 3)

For each of the following pairs, indicate which one of the


two species is larger:

(a) N3¯ or F¯
(b) Mg 2 + or Ca 2 +
2+ 3+
(c) Fe or Fe

© McGraw-Hill Education. 3-21


Example 8.3 (3 of 3)
Solution
a) N 3− and F− are isoelectronic anions, both containing 10 electrons.
Because N 3− has only seven protons and F− has nine, the smaller
attraction exerted by the nucleus on the electrons results in a large
N 3− ion.

b) Both Mg and Ca belong to Group 2A (the alkaline earth metals).


Thus, Ca 2 + ion is larger than Mg 2 + because Ca’s valence electrons
are in a larger shell (n = 4) than are Mg’s (n = 3).

2+
c) Both ions have the same nuclear charge, but Fe has one more
3+
electron (24 electrons compared to 23 electrons for Fe ) and hence
2+
greater electron-electron repulsion. The radius of Fe is larger.

Ionization Energy
Ionization energy is the minimum energy (kj/mol) required
to remove an electron from a gaseous atom in its ground
state.

I1 + X ( g ) → X + ( g ) + e − I1 first ionization energy

I 2 + X + ( g ) → X 2+ ( g ) + e− I 2 second ionization energy

I 3 + X 2 + ( g ) → X 3+ ( g ) + e − I 3 third ionization energy

I1 < I 2 < I 3

General Trends in First Ionization
Energies

Example 8.4 (1 of 4)
a) Which atom should have a smaller first ionization energy:
oxygen or sulfur?

b) Which atom should have a higher second ionization


energy: lithium or beryllium?

© McGraw-Hill Education. 8-26


Example 8.4 (2 of 4)
Strategy
a) First ionization energy decreases as we go down a group because
the outermost electron is farther away from the nucleus and feels
less attraction.

b) Removal of the outermost electron requires less energy if it is


shielded by a filled inner shell.

Solution
a) Oxygen and sulfur are members of Group 6A. They have the same
2 4
valence electron configuration ( ns np ), but the 3p electron in
sulfur is farther from the nucleus and experiences less nuclear
attraction than the 2p electron in oxygen. Thus, we predict that
sulfur should have a smaller first ionization energy.
© McGraw-Hill Education. 3-27
Example 8.4 (3 of 4)
b) The electron configurations of Li and Be are 1s 2 2 s1 and 1s 2 2 s 2 ,
respectively. The second ionization energy is the minimum energy
required to remove an electron from a gaseous unipositive ion in
its ground state. For the second ionization process, we write

Li + ( g ) → Li 2 + ( g ) + e −
1s 2 1s 1
Be + ( g ) → Be 2 + ( g ) + e −
1s1 2 s 1 1s 2
Because 1s electrons shield 2s electrons much more effectively than
they shield each other, we predict that it should be easier to remove a
2s electron from Be than to remove a 1s electron from Li .

Example 8.4 (4 of 4)

Check
Compare your result with the data shown in Table 8.2.

In (a), is your prediction consistent with the fact that the


metallic character of the elements increases as we move
down a periodic group?

In (b), does your prediction account for the fact that alkali
metals form +1 ions while alkaline earth metals form +2
ions?

Electron Affinity
Electron affinity is the negative of the energy change that
occurs when an electron is accepted by an atom in the
gaseous state to form an anion.

X(g ) + e− → X −( g )

F( g ) + e − → F− ( g ) ΔH =
− 328 kJ / mol EA =
+ 328 kJ / mol

O( g ) + e − → O − ( g ) ΔH =
− 141 kJ / mol EA =
+ 141 kJ / mol

Electron Affinities

32

EA generally increases across a period (row) in the periodic


table, due to the filling of the valence shell of the atom. For
instance, within the same period, a Group-17 atom releases
more energy than a Group-1 atom upon gaining an electron
because the added electron creates a filled valence shell and
therefore is more stable.

A trend of decreasing EA down the groups in the periodic table


would be expected, since the additional electron is entering an
orbital farther away from the nucleus. Since this electron is
farther away, it should be less attracted to the nucleus and
release less energy when added. However, this trend applies
only to Group-1 atoms. Electron affinity follows the trend of
electronegativity: fluorine (F) has a higher electron affinity than
oxygen (O), and so on.
